[Wesley and Fernie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great little book about STEM projects that are easy to make! I’ll have to do some of these projects in my classroom. The kids love looking through it and some eve wrote down some of the directions to work on them at home.

First off, I didn’t actually read this whole book. I previewed the projects. But it seems to filled with some neat project ideas with specific step-by-step instructions including a difficulty level of the projects, where to use caution and how to modify the experiments when you’ve finished.

My son and I liked doing the different experiments in this one.

He is big into STEM right now, so it was a good book for him.
