Product Description

It's pure bottled magic! A complete kit that ingeniously marries science and fun in the breakthrough vein of The Bug Book & Bug Bottle (1.7 million copies in print) and The Bones Book & Skeleton (1.65 million copies in print), Pop Bottle Science presents 79 easy, hands-on experiments that probe the worlds of chemistry, physics, biology, geology, weather, the human body, and even astronomy.

The Pop Bottle bottle is a perfect miniature science lab--see-through, flexible, air-tight when necessary, made out of a durable, shatter-proof plastic and designed with a removable top that doubles as a funnel. The Pop Bottle book is a lively, fully illustrated 96-page guide to astonishment. Each experiment begins with a challenge and ends with an explanation of the scientific principles involved. Kids can design a volcano and watch it erupt. Create a tornado-maker and see how twisters work. Make quicksand--is it solid or liquid? Observe photosynthesis in action. Simulate Jupiter's giant red spot, investigate buoyancy, demonstrate inertia, and discover the Bernoulli principle--which allows planes to fly. Plus, turn the bottle into a barometer, a thermometer, walkie-talkie, trombone, compass--or groovy lava lamp.

Customer Reviews

Fun science for kids!
This is a fabulous book! The experiments are easy to do, they are safe and they teach some of the basic principles of science in a way that even parents will be learning something new. I bought this book after seeing the author at a bookstore doing a demonstration and I have not been disappointed. Even if you don't know anything about science you will be able to do these experiments with your children...and you'll have fun!

Pop Bottle Science Well Worth It
Pop Bottle Science offers plenty of easy to do experiments that I plan on doing frequently with my second grade students this year. You need the special take apart pop bottle to make some of the experiments easier, but most can be done without it. I'm sure my students will have fun reproducing these class experiments at home.

Great Science
This is a great science book set. It comes with a pop bottle that has been designed to take apart. You can easily search the internet or buy the book "pop bottle biology" for directions on how to cut your own pop bottles apart. You will want to know how because you will want to do all the activities in this book and then some. If you are doing it with a classroom it would be easy to provide pop bottles for every child or a group of children in order to make it easier for each child to do their own experiments. The ideas in this book are easy to complete and are educational and fun.

Enjoy and well worth the money.
