The 101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments: Awesome Things To Do With Your Parents, Babysitters and Other Adults

This book is awesome! My children are 9 and 11. They are completely plugged-in - having many various electronic devices, games, apps, robotic toys, drones, etc, etc, etc. But this book is their favorite thing to do! It is always on our kitchen table with some sort of baking soda, vinegar mess somewhere nearby. When friends come over - it is this book that comes out to be showed off and played with. As a parent, I'm very impressed with these experiments. Many are simple - yet fascinating to children. Many are messy - so be tolerant. Kids love messy! Buy this!

I really appreciate the consistent format and clarity of activity descriptions – each contains a “mess meter”, level of supervision required, predicted times for prep and experiment, concise and easy-to-follow instructions, description of outcome, and an explanation of the science. The graphic design is appealing. The tone of the book would get adults and kids excited about working on science together. Includes many activities that aren’t standard fare found in all the other books. Most activities have great overview photos, instructional photos detailing the steps of the experiments, and/or helpful diagrams, but some are completely lacking illustration and that can make those experiments harder to figure out. Overall, an excellent resource.

I am a homeschooling mom to 3 young children who still need a majority of their math & language arts lesson taught to them individually. This book has easily helped me to introduce a love and facination with science to my children without being overly complicated or too difficult to carry out (a huge plus when working with younger children). Each experiment lists simple to follow intructions, ingredience, tips, estimated time frames, the level of ease and even how messy it is! Plus, the scientific concepts are explained in a very kid honoring way! My children get it! Many items used in the experiments can already be found around the house or picked up from a local dollar store. I would recommend reading through the experiments to familiarize yourself with common ingredients so that you can make sure that you have the staple ingredience and/or household items on hand and then prepare to pick up others as you go, noting which items could be saved and used again for future experiments.My children LOVE doing these experiments and are so excited to tell their friends about them! They want to do them over and over again. Their ages 6, 4 and a 4 month old baby. :-)

I bought this book for a church silent auction basket along with basic supplies for some of the experiments (vinegar, baking soda, pipe cleaners, tape, straws, etc). I researched a handful of kid's science books and chose this one because it was designed well, easy to understand directions, simple supplies needed so you're not "breaking the bank."

First week of summer and my 12 year old has been using this book non stop! I love how it's rated inside whether an adult is needed and there's a mess meter. I've hardly had to help which in my book is great. They've had trial and error and my son has even started a science notebook to track his success and tweaks to the experiments. This book is an absolute blast and I'd recommend to anyone!

We bought this book for a weekend vacation with our nieces (5 and 6 years old). Just about everything needed for the experiments could be bought in their small town grocery store. We tried about 10 experiments over a couple of days and the kids loved it. The messier experiments were done outside (like the soda foam explosion) and were probably the most popular. But they also loved showing off the lava lamp experiment too.

Perfect for home or school.5 yr old loves it so much sometimes it’s a bed time story book! Great balance of pictures and text. Easy experiments with results.Highly recommend.Great babysitter or grandparent activity.Most experiments call for household items.Added bonus: Cover glows in the dark

My 5 year old LOVES this book. He has even taken it preschool where they are doing a science experience every week from it. I gave it 4/5 bc for his age, more pictures would be nice. It is still a great buy though

Great book the children loved doing the experiments and learning through play.

Fantastic

Lovely book brilliant price my kids are super excited to start the science fun!

Kids love this book

I am always looking for things to do with my 5 year old son. We have tried a couple of the experiments and he wants more. The experiments are great because it can be done with things you have in the house.

Lots of great experiments for little learners. The glow in the dark cover is a nice touch too.Good, clear, instructions and mess ratings are welcomed.

It looks like there are some great projects here. My granddaughter is looking forward to trying them.

A lot of activities to do. I love it.

Fun things to do with the grandkids that help them think. Activities range from super easy to more complex, covering a wide age range. Ingredients are either already in the house or are easy to obtain. Lots of great ideas.

The experiments are fabulous!

Very easy to do experiments. Kids love it!! Fast delivery.

Excellent book

Absolutely love this book. I bought it for ideas to use during Dayhome hours. Kids have fun and they learn pretty cool things

Este libro da muchas ideas para trabajar la ciencia de una forma dinámica y divertida para los niños y niñas.

Plein d'expériences pour les enfants :) je conseilles vivement :) très facile a comprendre. Dommage quand France on nez trouve pas de genre de livre
