This new book, with more than 100 experiments provided by Mad Science and step-by-step instructions, shows kids how simple experiments can help them better understand the world around them.
“Following the success of Super Science Book, we created Big Book of Science Experiments to offer kids a supplement to everything they love about science. Annual science fairs continue to grow in popularity. This book provides a myriad of ideas to bring science directly to your home,” said Bob Der, Editorial Director, TIME For Kids. “We filled the book with incredibly cool experiments for kids to explore in a fun, family friendly way.”
**** My husband is a scientist and is always trying to get my kids excited about science, They are so young though that it is hard to find an age appropriate experiment. Big Book of Science Experiments is full of fun and easy experiments you can try with the kids. One that my kids just loved is “Get Your Heart Pumping” you make a chart and then have your child
watch TV for 5 minutes, then record their temperature and heart rate. Play soccer for 5 minutes, then record temperature and heart rate, and last have them do jump top for 5 minutes, after you have written everything down. compare the different exercises. My kids were excited that the more they did the faster their heart would beat. Another fun one is Family resemblance, take a picture of everyone in your family then compare what people have in common. All my kids found out that they have daddy’s eyes and eyelashes.
This book has so many great experiments and information for small kids. My kids are determined to do every experiment in this book!

Books like this are so much fun to have around… when kids are young they stand with wide eyes and think we are genius:)
