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: build it is the perfect book for students and parents who are looking For easy fun experiments. The information and layout in this book are great! Most of the needed items are easy to find or things you probably already have. This would make a great addition to any students shelf!

This is another great collection of experiments that older kids can do pretty independently from adults. And younger kids can do them with some adult supervision. I've done some of these with the older fours and fives in my class. We had fun with bouncing balls, different kinds of rockets (like the balloon ones), and a volcano. So many more are waiting to be tried, though!

A lot of these items can be found around the house, but you may need to go shopping for some. It's another book that is going to provide weeks of entertainment while learning and a great part of this series.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me a review copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

SUPER Science Experiments: Build It: Build rockets and racers and test energy forces! 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.

This is one volume of a series of simple and practical science experiments aimed at middle school aged learners (ages 8+). This one contains over 75 tutorials (I didn't count carefully) covering concepts in mechanics, fluid dynamics, engineering, and more. This is full of fun maker activities for things that fly, go, zoom, and whiz.

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.

The illustrations are simple and well done. They support and enhance 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. 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 the explanations might be somewhat oversimplified and not very complete (in my opinion). It would be a good additional exercise to research a little deeper about the concepts covered in the chapters to get more complete understanding and deeper learning.

This would make a super book for science homeschooling units, makers groups (when we can go out again), or even online school instruction sessions.

Four stars.

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

This book would be a huge hit with my oldest! The instructions are easy to follow and I like that most of the supplies would already be in our home. The "What's Happening" section is great, too - a short and simple explanation that parents will like to see, taking the experiments from something fun to something that's fun AND educational.

I also love the cover. It's very eye catching!

The only negative I can find is the emphasis on kids being able to do the experiments on their own. I would have preferred to see an added blip about the importance of getting permission from an adult before beginning.

This is a colorful book full of hands-on science protects to make at home. This would be a fantastic resource for homeschoolers, students who love science, or fun summer activities. Some of the protects remind me of the craft books I adored as a child.

This was one of our favorites of this new series of science experiment books (other topics are outside, at home, etc.). It features very simple experiments that kids can do with minimal parental help (mostly), typically with things easily found around the house.

Examples of the projects -- make bricks out of mud and ice cube trays, make stomp rockets from plastic bottles, make a tennis ball shooter from a Pringles can and plastic bottle, make an underwater volcano with a candle under some sand in a cup of water that you heat on the stove, etc.

There are colorful illustrations for each project, and many, many projects. There are one to two projects on each page, giving kids a huge range of experiments and projects. Some of them are rather simple, while others are more complicated.

The science behind the experiment is explained for each activity.

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

Very neat book with tons of cool projects for kids. All the projects use household and easy to find items. I would definitely recommend this for budding engineers and scientists.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Looking forward to using these to supplement what the schools have sent home for our children to do during the quarantine! The projects are simple enough for my six year old but not so simple my 11 year old is bored. they can work together!

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!
