My kids and I enjoyed doing some of these science experiments! This book is great for all ages of kids who want to learn some fun new science activities.

Fabulous book for kids, lots of fun activities to do and learn. Great to encourage any kid to get into science!

Super science experiments at home is the perfect book for parents to use with their children at home! Mini of the experiments using ingredients you probably already have at home! Each experiment was fun and easy. My children had a blast going through this book.

This book had tons of great easy experiments for kids to do at home, with mostly household items probably already on hand. I liked that the experiments weren't too involved so prep and clean-up time was minimal.

SUPER Science Experiments: At Home is a new STEAM activity guide for young readers (and their resource adults/caregivers) by Elizabeth Snoke Harris. Released 14th April 2020 by Quarto on their MoonDance Press imprint, it's 64 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.

Everyone needs fun learning ideas for youngsters (and adults) in these bizarre days. Science and learning have always been my go-to stress and boredom busters whenever I have to stay home and can't go out. This collection is simple, full of easy to follow experiments and activities, and uses easy to find ingredients which most readers already have available around the house.

There are a number of activities which can be done by kids themselves without supervision. All safety information and tips are clearly delineated in the text. The tutorials themselves are accessible and written simply in easy to understand language. They're varied in scope and concepts including learning in physics, chemistry, cell biology (with a truly spiffy DNA isolation exercise), and interdisciplinary experiments.

The illustrations are simple and well done. They don't detract from the experiments. Each of the exercises has a list of ingredients, step by step instructions, and a "What's Happening" explanation of the relevant concepts at the end of each one. I didn't count how many were included in this book, but there must be close to 100. The tutorial measurements are given in American standard measures (pounds, cups, and so forth). There is also a very abbreviated index at the back of the book. It should be noted that these are *simple* experiments, and that some of them use quite a lot of easily sourced materials (several pounds of salt for one exercise).

This would make a super book for science homeschooling units or even online school instruction sessions.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Awesome book of fun with all sorts of kitchen experiments. As a parent I was happy to see explanation of the (mess) experiments we were creating. The language and imagery hits the mark dead on for my 9 year old

4 stars!
Super excited to do all these science experiments at home, Especially now that the kids are home from school! It will come to great use!

This is a very exciting and informative book for children.
It aims to stack together simple experiments which teach young kids about science and its magic.
Experiments are simple.
They use common items available at home.
They are mostly done with the help of harmless tools.
Illustrations which accompany experiments are very helpful.
Exciting headings attract attention to each task immediately.
A very good book for gifting to a studios kid.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

This was a less successful book in this new series of science experiment books for us. It's packed with simple science activities but most of them were a little too simple for my gang, or they were ones we've already done plenty over the years. I looked through it extensively yesterday to try to find some fun activities for my bored 8 and 12 year-olds (yes, even homeschoolers are used to getting out of the house and get bored when they're cooped up at home) and we didn't really find many that caught their interest.

Examples of the activities -- see how many drops of water you can put on a penny to learn about surface tension, make elephant toothpaste (a project my kids love but that uses too much of our yeast and dish soap to do as often as they'd like!), make a bowl look like it's disappeared under another bowl by filling it with vegetable oil, rub things like a potato and shaving cream on squares of a bathroom mirror to see which ones don't steam up, and adding salt to a bathtub to make a bowling ball float. Each one tells the science behind what happens afterwards.

These are good projects to teach science, but not the greatest at just being boredom busters. This would be a good book to keep on hand as a supplement to science studies. It would be useful if some sort of index at the start pointed parents to activities that correspond with topics and concepts. Younger kids are likely to get more out of it than kids who are already used to doing fun at-home science.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

These books are always great to have around for rainy days. Some great ideas, and my daughter loved picking experiments to try

Thanks netgalley

Very neat book with tons of experiments to try with kids. All the experiments use household and easy to find items. I would definitely recommend this for budding scientists, age 5/6 and above.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Lots of fun ideas for experiments presented in an easy to follow format. Some experiments were easier to complete at home than others depending on the supplies needed and the kinds of things you have around your house. Definitely recommend, especially for homeschool families like ours!
