Reader ReviewsI purchased this book for the science division of our home schooling studies. It is laid out very well and it's easy to understand. Using materials most people have around the house you can simply flip to the beginning and follow the headings for ideas. What can you use straws for? Try out the section on "Clutching at Straws", make an Oboe, balance scale, spear a potato, etc. Would you like to know other uses for lemon juice? Start on page 36. Keep going- check out soap suds, strings, paper cups, experiments with temperature, etc. Basically you get it, you could spend many great minutes or hours teaching your kids through hands on learning. Many of these can be done by an older child with very little help- a perfect solution to the "I'm bored" problem. Please- turn of the TV, electronic games. etc. and let them use their brains- actively. This is a wonderful book, one that every household would benefit from.
