The Everything Kids' Science Experiments Book: Boil Ice… (2024)

I think this is great book that can be used year round for science activities. It gives tons of ideas and all you have to do is bring in a few household items to use. It would even be a great book to recommend to parents to let them get involved in doing experiments with their children in science!

Easy to follow experiments with items we already had around the house for many of the experiments. However, a few did call for items we didn’t have like dry ice and chemicals. The book contains sciences experiments in biology, chemistry, physics, planet earth, and the human body. Experiments contain the steps of the scientific methods, materials needed, scientific explanations for what’s happening and words to know. The text is well laid out with pencil drawings and green/purple writing. However, I feel the layout is meant for upper elementary middle school science class or sciences enthusiast due to the lack of dynamic photos and graphic text. This title would not engage a child not interested in science. Some experiments do take several days to complete.
Some experiments had fun facts, jokes, or science online for further learning. I would like to see this title updated with a glossary and dynamic graphics.

Awesome book with great explanation

I have purchase so many books on the experiments but this one is something special which teaches you everything about the science behind the experiment with question answers

Tom Robinson's "The Everything Kids' Science Experiments Book" has been a game-changer in my quest to engage my neices and nephews into science. As someone passionate about doing hands on learning activities,I appreciate Robinson's approach, He makes experimentation accessible with easy-to-follow instructions and common household items. Even though this book doesnt have any awards, its importance lies in its ability to transform a boring simple day into an exciting scientific exploration. As an aunt and teacher eager to instill a love for learning, I find this book to be an amazing way to get children off the screen time and to do something fun, but also educational.

Just had a large variety of science experiments that worked great with my 6-year-old niece and my 9-year-old son. We also loved the fact that you could make little notations like a real scientist after the experiment explaining how it went. A lot of different experiments to try set up in different categories. I thought this was a great idea for kids and to get them more interactive in their reading

Fun little supplement to our science homeschool program

3 1/2 stars -- a little old for my preschooler, but the layout was very clear and I DID appreciate the explanations of WHY included with each section. Science is not my natural turn of mind, so I appreciate having someone else lay out an experiment for me. I photocopied a couple experiments to do at a later date, but I don't feel the need to own a copy. I recommend checking this book out of the library.

This book is great for second and upper aged elementary students. Some words are hard to understood, but can be inferred its meaning based out of what the book is trying to share. Defiantly great for science lovers.

After borrowing this book from the library via Kindle I decided we needed a print copy of it. Perfect way to add fun to learning!

This book has so many ideas for the 5 Es that I can't pick just one. I reall like this book. It can cover many grade levels. An incredible resource fo science teachers.

Easy read and easy to do experiments. The best part is most of the things needed are already in our kitchens. This has been a life saver during our recent snow days.

The kids loved it!

Love this book! I love the formatting and organization that the author decided to use. It's been awesome to use with the kids in my house.
