I bought this for my 11yr old son - He loves it.
He couldn't wait to get experimenting.
I don't think he's realised it's educational.......yet!
(although he did want to start on the alcohol experiments first)

Why aren't there more books like this? Human beings are inquisitive creatures and will stop at nothing in their continual pursuit of knowledge. I still haven't been able to acquire a deceased hamster in order to fossilise it but I did eventually manage to find a slightly willing victim to test out the theory 'aluminium foil on a tooth filling really hurts'. The book is full of experiments you can carry out without breaking any laws in the safety of your own home. If you are an inquisitive human with a sense of humour you will really enjoy this book!

A superb way of engaging with practical science around the house. Tried some of the experiments with my kids and they thought there were great fun (especially the fizzy drink and mints test!). Good read too.

Informative, Interesting, Entertaining.
This book was loved by me, and loathed by my wife, over several days. I was equally informed and entertained page after page, and often felt that I just couldn't read fast... Read more

A budget buy for a gift
I bought this for a present for one of my staff at Christmas. It amused me (and I am a pet lover who would never do anything unkind to a hamster!)

Science made fun and easy
If ever the children think Science is boring use this little book to get their grey matter buzzing.
