I don't do science, but I am fascinated by and would even be prepared to attempt most of the science in this book. The tricks in this book would make a great way to engage kids in science as well as entertain and inspire them to explore more. The equipment needed is easily found around the house.

Fun and intriguing science tricks for kids to enjoy but some might find the author's British slang within the directions confusing. (ex. ice lolly stick)

[Joy Lane · Rating 4 out of 5]

some of these science tricks would be fun to try with kids (some are dangerous)

I love any book with British terms/slang. An icy lolly stick? A torch? Washing-up liquid? Cracks me up. Cling film?
And this is a fantastic science experiments book :)
