Here's your answer to all the questions children ask and all the wonders they want to investigate -- from the marvel of a raindrop on a leaf, to the power of a volcano, to the mysteries of the universe.
This award-winning bestseller is the BIGGEST and BEST collection of science activities for children 6-14 years. There are more than 450 projects, experiments, games, puzzles, and stories!

Activities range in length from the popular Quickies to projects that can be done over several days or weeks. They've all been tested and use simple materials. Easy-to-follow explanations, engaging illustrations, and fun facts -- did you know that a cockroach can live for nine days without its head? -- make this a book you'll turn to again and again.
