Description
Don't be intimidated by The Naked Scientists on the book cover! They really aren't naked! In case you are wondering who or what the Naked Scientists are, let me give you a bit of background. Based at Cambridge University in the UK, The Naked Scientists are a team of scientists, doctors, researchers, and communicators who are on a mission to make science understandable and engaging to everyone regardless of age or background. Written for parents and kids to experience together, Boom! is a collection of enjoyable experiments that will engage students in science. Students will make their own submarine, remove iron from iron fortified cereal, use a bag of chips to create sparks, make electric slime and much more. Experiments are clearly explained, making them easy to complete at home. I appreciate how each experiment is followed by an explanation of WHY it worked and HOW it applies to the real world. Activities use commonly found items. A great resource to bring some fun and excitement to your family time! Secular publisher. ~Deanne
