Superb Gift for Child or Teacher!
Explorabook: A Kids' Science Museum may be the best value for a child's gift or addition to a teacher's classroom. This is not just a book. It is a science tool with more than 50 activities and items needed to do them-a magnet, mirror, diffraction grating, agar gel and more. The seven book sections are: Magnetism, Bending Light Waves, Bacterial Stories, Light Wave Craziness, Homemade Science, Bouncing Light Rays and Optical Illusions. Unusual experiments include an Anti-gravity Machine, Dinnertime Magic, Bacteria Races, and Heavy Scientific Breathing. Most of the activities can be done by children but some adult supervision is required. Scientific explanations are excellent as the book originated from the San Francisco Exploratorium. Loaded with illustrations, the Explorabook is highly recommended for class or home use. From The Science Spiders Newsletter, November 2002.

My first science text book!
Ah, EMS sold these for a short stint in the early 90s (1992 or so). This was such a great book for the beginning experimenter, in fact some topics have stuck in my mind and helped me on science topics i'll tackle later in life...e.g. noone in my AP chem class knew what 'agar' was!

Every kid should have this book!
This is the way science should be taught--FUN! It's a great interactive book that explains everyday "stuff" & complex science in an easy to understand and entertaining manner.
