Perform over 50 hands-on experiments with this Scholastic science project book. Each experiment will tell you the length of time needed and the level of difficulty. Instructions for the experiments are very easy to follow (and even include pictures). The “Hack it" information gives ideas to take experiments even further and offers some unique twists on common experiments. The front cover even includes buttons to push to create a circuit and play a tune!
Publisher's Description of Maker Genius: 50+ Home Science Experiments
This book explores science using the Maker sensibility (though you don't need to have even heard of the Maker Movement). It's about giving it your best shot, making, remaking, testing, tinkering, hacking, as a way of exploring science principles, rather than having someone tell you "This is exactly how to do a science experiment, and this is exactly what's going to happen."This 128-page book is packed with more than 70 awesome home science projects. It's the first in a series for confident readers ages 8+, focusing on STEM subjects in a cool, fun way, putting kids in charge of what they find out and how they do it.
