One of those times when a charity shop book is actually brilliant, rather than pretty much the same as all the other charity shop books you've bought on making science fun...
The beauty of this book is the simplicity. Each page has a hugely simple activity with a clear list of ingredients; it then tells you what result you get. Then there is a little science nugget at the bottom explaining what happened. Yes, there are the usual magnet-powered boats and growing crystals, but also the technical side is streets ahead of other good books I've got. I'll be trying the butterfly garden, making starch and the dancing mothballs.
I'll definitely be using this. It would work well for holiday time. Author - Myrna Daitz. ISBN- 100863273866
