[Alexis · Rating 5 out of 5]

As someone who is tasked with bringing STEAM into public library service, I loved this book. The procedures were well written, the background in science well presented and all the supplies are easily procured. When one is working with a public library budget, a book full of fun experiments that can be done with supplies you likely have on hand is a dream come true.

The digital edition offers great features to navigate the book and get more information for further study, though a hard copy would be a fantastic tool for anyone interested in STEM/STEAM education. Kids, tween and teens would be able to read this book, and execute the experiments, pretty independently (great for self-guided learning) or the text could serve as a solid base for introductory STEAM curriculum. I would have loved to have had his resource when I was starting out creating our Makerspace/STEAM program.

This is a great “junk drawer science” book sure to be a hit with young scientists and educators alike.
