Synopses & Reviews
Go on--dig right into the goo and gunk! Dare to sniff the stink. This is guaranteed fun with science through your senses. More than 75 exciting experiments really test your abilities for sight, touch, and smell. Watch light reflect, bounce, and bend with mirrors and lenses. Make some static electricity with two balloons, and see what other materials you can get a charge out of. Choose some oozy, runny, sticky slimes to test, like sunscreen and squishy foods. It's hands on, eyes on, nose on science!
