About This Book

Science has never been so easy—or so much fun! With The Everything Kids' Science Experiments Book, all you need to do is gather a few household items and you can recreate dozens of mind-blowing, kid-tested science experiments. High school science teacher Tom Robinson shows you how to expand your scientific horizons from biology, chemistry, physics, technology, and engineering—to outer space. You'll discover answers to questions like: —Is it possible to blow up a balloon without actually blowing

Our Review

This hands-on science activity book transforms everyday household items into powerful tools for discovery, allowing young experimenters to explore core scientific principles from biology and chemistry to physics and outer space. High school teacher Tom Robinson presents dozens of mind-blowing experiments that answer compelling questions like whether you can inflate a balloon without blowing into it, making abstract concepts tangible through immediate, interactive engagement. The accessible approach removes barriers to entry for budding scientists who can immediately begin testing hypotheses with minimal preparation or specialized equipment. This creates an ideal gateway into experimental methods where curiosity drives learning through direct observation and surprising results.

What distinguishes this resource is its teacher-tested reliability combined with the sheer excitement of seeing scientific principles manifest in dramatic, often unexpected ways right before your eyes. Young readers who thrive on active participation rather than passive reading will find endless opportunities to satisfy their natural curiosity about how the world works. The experiments build foundational knowledge across multiple STEM disciplines—from basic chemical reactions to engineering challenges—while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It successfully bridges the gap between classroom science and real-world wonder, creating memorable learning experiences that spark lasting interest in scientific exploration.
