1: Great for family working together
I did not know for sure what to expect with this book. Turns out it's a great one for family projects. It gives a good number of great ideas for things kids CAN do, but of course it advises parental participation. It should easily spark or encourage an interest in science.

2: Perfect for Cub Scouts
I bought this book without ever having seen the show, thinking it was *just* the thing for my 8-10 yo Cub Scouts. I couldn't have been more right! I was surprised to learn they *all* watch it, and love the show, so I made sure to catch it for myself and my family. It's a great way to talk to young boys, and to get the shyer ones to talk to the other boys. There's not much by way of 'how to', a lot of it (and the show) is geared to 'don't try this at home'. The Diet Coke and Mentos experiment was a most excellent way of illustrating the Scientific Method in a most memorable (and messy - bonus points there!) way. I got that from the show.

3: Not so good
I had ordered this book for a 17 year old. However, when I received it, I realized it was geared more for an 8 year old - very elementary.
|
4: Kids love it
My kids really love the show and the books.
I have two boys aged 10 and 14.

5: Meant for youngsters
I gave this to my rocket-scientist brother but it was my 4th grade nephew who ran off with the book. I would say that it is really designed for middle-school students? The nephew liked it.
Makes a great gift when enclosed with two dozen bottles of Diet Coke and six rolls of Mentos!
