175 Science Experiments: To Amuse and Amaze Your Friends

by Brenda Walpole

Containing activities that require minimum adult supervision, this book aims to encourage children to develop an understanding of simple scientific concepts by carrying out their own practical investigations, making toys and playing magic tricks and games. All the experiments can be carried out in the home with safe, inexpensive materials which are readily available internationally. The four main science topics covered are water, air movement and light, and each section is followed by a quiz.

Dated. Lots of experiments, but poorly presented. There's no rhyme or reason as to the presentation. Most of these are available elsewhere in better format. I would skip this . . . and have.
