Awesome Physics Experiments for Kids: 40 Fun Science Projects and Why They Work (Awesome STEAM Activities for Kids)

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.

Lots of good activities and experiments that can help teach kids

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.

This book had a lot of really great information. I’ve been a high school science teacher for more than 10 years and I would have used any of these activities in my classroom, or I could have used them with my toddlers at home. The simplicity with which it is explained allows the use with many age groups. There was a lot of excellent explanation as well as scientific method processes and debriefing at the close of the activity. The tables, charts, diagrams, and glossary would be super helpful to anyone unfamiliar with the terms or measurements of science. I originally looked at this book as a resource for a workshop I am presenting at. It is a perfect, user-friendly guide. I highly recommend it.

My grandson who is going to be 12 years old is going to have so much fun with these projects. He loves creating, and experimenting. I can't wait to see some of the projects he creates with these ideas...

This is a nice book that is easy to follow and includes a lot of information and fun for young ones.

My grandson only wanted all of the elements called for in the experiments for his 6th birthday. He is very science inclined. Great for him mane not so much for children with other interests

It was cool I guess I just thought I wouldn’t have to buy stuff I thought I would already have the stuff
