From the Author      Don't Try This at Home...Let's cut to the chase and be honest... science experiments have changed over the years. Okay, maybe the experiments have not changed, but the way they're packaged has. It seems that all of today's science experiments come with a warning that reads, "Don't try this at home!" This is especially true when someone breaks out the vinegar and baking soda or anything else that might fizz, bubble, pop, or get someone excited about learning. What's the first thought that pops into a young scientist's mind when she hears, "Don't try this at home?" That's right... "I must do everything possible to try this at home!" The warning issued by the adult becomes a challenge for every kid who hears it.There's an alternative to the standard warning. Instead of messing up your own home, try messing up your friend's home. Now the warning reads as follows...Don't try this at home... try it at a friend's home!Here's the good news... this book is filled with great science activities, demonstrations, and science fair project ideas that are easy to do and are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing. Don't be fooled by the list of simple materials required for many of the experiments - vinegar, eggs, plastic bags, salt, soap - even though they are basic ingredients, the "wow" factor of the activities is huge. At the end of each activity, you'll learn the real science behind all of the "gee-whiz." You'll learn not only the how but the why. And then something strange will happen - you'll start to ask your own questions and create your own experiments. Don't be surprised if a little voice in your head starts to ask things like, "What would happen if I changed this or tried that?" Curiosity will get the best of you and you'll find yourself doing the experiment again and again with your own changes and ideas. Keep making science fun!Steve Spangler      Product Description      AS SEEN ON THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW!· 50 fantastic experiments from bestselling author Steve Spangler· All experiments vetted by the scientists at the Smithsonian Institution· Step-by-step instructions with full color photosSmithsonian 10-Minute Science Experiments gives curious young readers dozens of colorful, exciting projects designed to teach them about the basics of science, physics, chemistry and engineering.
