    Book Description

    Make science magic every day of the year! "With an average of 3 or 4 accessible experiments per spread, the volume demonstrates how to utilize simple items such as straws, string, paper and eggs to make a galvanometer or a balance scale. Two-color drawings show step-by-step instructions, and a cast of animal characters inject some humor."--Publishers Weekly.

    5-0 out of 5 stars To increase awareness of science, buy this ...
    Simple fun filled experiments which easily captures children's attention. What is outstanding is the huge spectrum of experiments -- indoor - outdoor, simple - complex, tips & tricks and the list goes on. Thanks to this book my daughter interest has increased to the extent that she now wants to participate in Science Fairs. Clearly a very useful book that every family should benefit from.

    5-0 out of 5 stars When your kids say :" I'm bored", this is the book for them!
    The experiments in this book are very basic and simple fun activities that are easy to follow and which children -even adults- will enjoy. The book simplifies and explains many fundamental scientific concepts that we encounter daily. The scope of these experiments is very wide , from daily science to weather, chemistry,... which are all implemented with very readily available items. This is a book that will keep inquisitive children motivated and busy for hours, they will especially love the science tricks. The second book : "365 More Science Experiments with Everyday Materials" complements this book. One should get them both!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Fabulously fun resource!
    I 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.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Really simple
    I've picked up many books which claim to demonstrate science with "everyday materials." Most times the "everyday materials" are not something I keep on hand. Like cheesecloth. Who keeps cheesecloth on hand? But the demonstrations in this book really are simple and really do include basic household supplies. I've used the book with my five year old and have found the demonstrations and explanations to be thorough enough to engage his interest. And I've enjoyed myself too!

    4-0 out of 5 stars This Science Book makes Science Fun!
    I like science now. I used to hate science until I got this book. Even though some of the experiments don't work, there is a lot of interesting facts. I learned alot about what happens to some of the experiments. Buy this book! ... Read more

    What a terrific concept! Chris McGowan, a curator at the Royal Ontario Museum, has come up with the ideal hands-on science project. All you need is this book, three young chickens, a few household items, and some time to make your own scale model of an apatosaurus skeleton. And it neatly dovetails with current scientific theories that birds are the living descendents of dinosaurs. McGowan's detailed, practical directions even include recipes for the leftovers. No one who has ever been interested in dinosaurs will be able to resist this book. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, especially if you have kids!
    A wonderful project, and a clear and well-written book. Do not expect to finish quickly -- we spent many hours over many months cleaning, sorting, cutting, and assembling a beautiful 'apatosaurus.' Kids of all ages (mine are 3 and 5) can get involved, from enthusiastically finishing their chicken dinners to cleaning and sorting and assembling the new family pet.

    I should note that if you have a Dremel or similar moto-tool, you'll find a lot of the cutting and sanding easier (and you'll have less bone-boiling).

    5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best educational tools I've ever seen:
    I am a 21 year old biology major and this is one of the best science books I've ever purchased. I have always loved books that involved cut-and-paste but this one is the best. You end up with an actual model of a dinosaur as well as extensive knowledge of skeletal anatomy, dinosaur and bird facts, and how to roast a chicken! ... Read more
