Awesome Physics Experiments for Kids: 40 Fun Science Projects and Why They Work

My 8 year old grandson and I love this series Awesome Experiments which keep us happy and busy for hours, using mostly cardboard, straws, pipe cleaners etc. totally recommend the whole series

I bought this so my neices (3&5) and I can have structured quality time when I come over. I keep the book with me so it is our special activity. I pick out and prepare 1-2 activities prior to visiting.The 5 year old loves it so much she told me that when she grows up she wants to write science books for kids too! She isn't ready for all of the activities yet, but I'm excited because this book will last us years!This series is different and brilliant because how they challenge thinking, creativity, and learning. It isn't about just doing steps 1-x. It helps them learn why and think through what would happen if we incorporated x or y variables and form hypotheses. I highly recommend all in this series (I have outdoor, physics, and engineering)The 3 yr old enjoys "helping" her sister by handing her supplies lol.

I acquired this with one of my sons in mind, but … he just wasn’t that interested, which could have my “fault” in my “manner of presentation. I gave it to another family that has younger “kids.” The “kid” I got it for is a 42 yr old son … and my self, that didn’t pan out the way I had hoped. I still believe it’s a good book though.

Absolutely loved this book! The experiments work so well in my classroom and the materials are easy to find and inexpensive or free! Thanks to this book, I do more hands-on physics than ever in my classroom now!

This has a variety of different types of experiments to keep the kids busy with some fun science stuff.
