The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science

Here are 64 awesome experiments that demonstrate the principles behind the more of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in human history. Designed and written by Sean Connolly, author of The Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science. This is a fantastic collection of easy and fun experiments that demonstrate real science!
Homemade Lightening, Air Cannons, Static Electricity Slime, Marshmallow on Steroids, Frankensteins' Hand, and the CD Hovercraft, and 58 other theme based projects to discover! The author includes special take care instructions, as well as how much time each experiment is expected to take.
Seven chapters divide this book up into different scientific themes including: Core Concerns, Harnessing the Elements, Food for Thought, How Moving!, A Lot of Hot Air, 100% Natural, Mad Science and Last Words. I was impressed that it included lined pages in the back for the scientists to keep their own notes as well. When I brought this book home to review, my kids (a boy 12, and a girl 10) could not put it down! We have decided to to the experiments together at home once a week as a fun family project, and I have to say, I have been having a great time too!
