Description

Only use this knowledge for good, like encasing your little brother in a giant soap bubble.

Learn how to launch a rocket from a film canister. Test out what happens when you drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda (for the purposes of science, of course).

All 64 hands-on experiments in this book can be done with the stuff found in the kitchen or in the garden shed. Turn that boring object at home into the catalyst for family fun.

ATTENTION: Your kids may need your help with a few experiments. And sometimes it can get a messy, but that’s all part of the fun.
