Reviews

[Siobhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a child I loved both history and science, so as you can imagine I loved both the Horrible Histories books and the Horrible Science books.

Whilst I did enjoy the Horrible Science books, I never read quite as many as I did the Horrible Histories books. For me, even as a child, the Horrible Science books seemed somewhat second rate to the Horrible Histories books.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re good books. They make learning fun in the same way as their history counterparts, there simply seems to be something lacking. Perhaps it was simply because I read the Horrible Histories first and thought this was trying too hard to be like those books, or it could have been something else – as I’ve said, I’m really not sure.

Still, the Horrible Science books are good for any science-loving child.

En vez de encontrarnos una lista de experimentos sin más -que también la hay- el autor nos cuenta historias divertidas, nos explica la vida de algunos científicos y nos pasea por las anécdotas de la ciencia más... ¡explosivas!

This had tons of fizzing experiments. Beware of the warnings! Don't forget if you have some old newspaper or a yard you can do some of them. There stuff like seeing inside your eyeballs, making a phantom ghost (some of you know about it, but the ones who don't I'm just writing if for ya),etc. I liked the one where you could make a drum just by using a tissue, a large piece of pipe, and some salt and a radio. A funny one is where Will D. Beast's nephew, Wilson, he always does stuff funny like thinking photosynthesis has something to do with holiday photos. Or when he put sand in Will D. Beast's tea. Or when he put woodlice down Will D. Beast's neck. Or when he crunched up the snails too hard. The snail's shells.

I would recommend this book to professors...anybody.
