Product Description
A book by the San Francisco Exploratorium museum culls hundreds of scientific experiments, amusements, and tricks for children and instructions and explanations for parents, so they can explain what is happening to their youngsters. Original. 35,000 first printing.Amazon.com Review
The Exploratorium in San Francisco is "a museum of science, art, andhuman perception founded in 1969 by physicist FrankOppenheimer. The mission of the Exploratorium is tocreate innovative learning environments, programs, andtools for exploration that help people of all ages, origins,and geographic locations use their natural curiosity tolearn about the world around them." And if you've ever been there, youknow that this ambitious mission statement is fulfilled in spades.It is an extraordinary place that I try to visit every time I go toSan Francisco.

This delightful book allows you to create your own Exploratorium athome. It's got loads of experiments that, in the best Exploratoriumtradition, are fun and highly educational (as an aside, byfollowing one of the exercises, I was able to make a styrofoam airplane that looks suspiciously like the Amazon.com Bookslogo--and it flies!). Highly Recommendedfor the curious and playful of any age. ... Read more

Great book for grade school students
I worked for the summer program at the Boys and Girls Club. This book became very useful when doing science projects with them. They enjoyed the ones I did with them, especially the messy goo ones. It is also a great book to have at home to do fun activities with your children.

Good Fun and Good Science!
Many science experiment books out there either have bad science in them, poorly designed experiments, or unclear directions (or, unfortunately, all three).This book has great experiments that are easy and fun to do.And, the science behind the experiments is accurate and clearly explained.As a scientist, science teacher, and parent, this book is the first one my list of recommendations!

Experiments for "Bring Your Kids to Work" Day
I ordered several books to prepare for the experiments I wanted to present for the "Bring Your Kids to Work" Day.This was, by far, the most useful and most interesting book I received.You can use theexperiments listed in the book, and tailor them for younger or olderchildren very easily.I'm going to order the sequel, "ScienceExplorer, Out and About," today!

The best and easiest book of its kind!
I am an elementary school teacher and the mother of three young children so I have read a lot of books that say they are filled with easy-to-do science experiments butthis is by far the best of itskind that I haveread. Within the first two hours my kids and I did three of the experimentsAND had a great time together AND learned something! ... Read more
