Synopsis

Packed with scientific activities, using items you’d find at home, this brilliant book makes science cool and fun. Become an expert on chain reactions in a bottle, playing with light, understanding how things move, making home-made lightening and more… Over forty great projects making science accessible and easy to understand, including…

• making a camera from an old box, a mirror and a pair of glasses
• using a potato to harness electricity
• making a balloon hovercraft
• growing crystals from sugar, water and a piece of string

Clear step-by-step instructions with simple illustrations show you what to do (safely), as well as explaining the science behind each project. Plus, an easy to understand explanation on the science behind each project.

It’s not magic – it’s way better than that!
