Otherwise, GO NUTS!"This book is such a fun read, both my daughter and I took turns reading and couldn't stop until we had finished! When we did, it was off to our own lab to construct some of the awesome projects that are written about inside! The instructions were easy to follow, the science behind the projects nicely explained, and the level of fun was through the roof. We built a mentos and diet coke powered rocket kitty, and have been racing them with the neighborhoods kids ever since!This book is AWESOME. It's fun, motivating, and totally filled with science. It's still our favorite science book for kids!
