Big Book of Science Experiments Review: Just what our kids needed! - With two science fair projects due each winter, our elementary school kids are always stuck with where to find new and exciting ideas for their investigations. This full color book by TIME FOR KIDS offers not only a huge selection of various age-appropriate experiments, but also provides valuable step by step real life photos, instructions, ideas for further thinking, guidelines to prepare the story boards, and unique questions and points of interest related to each topic. Special attention is given to safety while carrying out the experiments as well. There is something for everyone in this idea book, from the kid who loves earth science to the little inventor in the family. Though the choices are extensive, we managed to successfully narrow down at least 4 topics that were of interest to our kids this year and they are now choosing which ones will make for the most fun and informational presentation on their grade levels. A terrific book, highly recommended! Review: Although this book can be enjoyed by 8-year-olds - This is a real science book and should not be regarded as merely a book of science experiments as the title implies. Each general area of science tends to be covered in considerable detail, much more so than would be required simply to explain the experiments described. For example the illustration of the architecture of plant cells and the human digestive system are reminiscent of a children's encyclopedia. Although this book can be enjoyed by 8-year-olds, I would agree with reviewer Joyce that, in many cases, it is more suitable for 10-12 year olds (and even adults). The book is beautifully illustrated and well written. In many cases, one gets the sense that the book is intended to give students inspiration for school science projects--not a bad idea in itself. Some of the experiments are very easily done. The use of a glass of water to show the ability of a lens to reverse the direction of an image (page 136) is as simple as they come and yet it was a big hit with the elementary children with whom I tried it. The construction of an electromagnet from a steel bolt wrapped with copper wire attached to a battery (page 154) is a neat experiment; but I found that a longer bolt and more extensive copper wire wrappings were necessary to yield any significant magnetic strength when connected to a D battery. The book "365 Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials" has many more experiments and simpler explanations. I recommend it as a very useful companion volume in selecting science experiments to do with young children. --Snowman ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,786,832 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #498 in Science for Kids #772 in Children's Science Experiment Books #3,502 in Children's Earth Sciences Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (159) | | Dimensions | 8.18 x 0.6 x 9.32 inches | | Grade level | 3 and up | | ISBN-10 | 1603208933 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1603208932 | | Item Weight | 1.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | December 6, 2011 | | Publisher | Time for Kids Books | | Reading age | 7 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![Big Book of Science Experiments - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GgeF2XlJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what our kids needed! *by F***0 on January 16, 2013* With two science fair projects due each winter, our elementary school kids are always stuck with where to find new and exciting ideas for their investigations.
