What reviewers said
"The best part about this compendium of STEM experiments is their step-by-step instructions WITH photos! This would be great for after school programs, nature centers that do programs for young kids, or libraries!"
“The inside of the book really takes science to another level for these young minds, with simple instructions and a combination of superb photos and illustrations. The simplicity of the tasks is also a great bonus. Virtually all materials needed will be standard household items. This is a golden opportunity to make chance for learning and bonding with your child.”
"An amazing book, full of 30 hands on STEM experiments to try at home with your kids. It starts with an introduction that explains why Science is so important, how to stay safe and some useful tools that you will need.

“Providing hours of fun learning, this book is particularly useful for homeschooling.”
“I’m also thrilled that this STEM activity book has been written by two women, who want all children to fall in love with science at home. It’s full of STEM experiments that are easy to do, use everyday materials (most of the time) and are great fun. The instructions for each experiment are clear and detailed (sometimes very detailed), so they are easy to follow, but you will need to be a confident reader to access the information independently."
"This book is packed with 30 wonderful Science experiments...The instructions are easy to follow and there is a simple explanation of the science behind the fun"
