â â This book is an impressive collection of experiments for kids (and adults). The instructions are clear and the observed phenomena are well explained. Curious minds will learn and enjoy! -- Steve Fleming, PhD, Professor of Instruction, Temple University As a busy mom, I'm excited to say 'yes' to more projects with my kids simply by opening a book and checking the materials list. As a chemistry teacher, I want real science, explained at the appropriate level, and experiments that always work. This book sets up even the most scientifically-challenged person to become a STEAM wizard while still keeping the material fresh for more experienced explorers. --Megan Larsen, High School Chemistry Teacher, Desert Vista High School, Phoenix AZ Children are naturally curious, and Crystal's experiments with everyday objects provide a fun way to help children--and their parents--understand a little more about the world around them. --Kathryn D. Burke, PhD, General Chemistry Teaching Labs Manager, University of Delaware This brilliant book is perfect for both my classroom and my own children at home. I can draw from the 'whys and hows' in the book to sound like an expert and refer to the suggested questions to extend learning and incorporate the scientific method. --Holly Davies, M.Ed, Advanced Learning Specialist at Utah Virtual Academy
