Book Synopsis



Science School teaches children about the basic principles of science through 30 exciting experiments and crafts that can be done at home, using everyday objects and materials around you.

Why do bubbles hold their shape? How does an electric circuit work? What makes popcorn pop? Can an egg bounce? If you thought that science could only be practised wearing white coats in a sterile laboratory, think again! A brilliant way to link the STEM/STEAM themes being taught at school back to your home in a fun and fascinating way. Perfect for budding scientists who love to ask... 'why?'

Activities include: making slime, baking-soda fizz, coloured celery, invisible ink, soda bottle ecosystem and many more.

    Designed to make science exciting and relatable to all children. The book is aimed at children aged 7-11 years old Each project has easy-to-follow, illustrated scientific information explaining how the experiment works. Teaches children about crafting skills and features simple projects aimed at parents with little or no crafting experience. Most projects can be made with items already in the house.



Review Quotes




The Week Junior's Science+Nature magazine (extract), 28th May 2021.

The Tiny Activists https: //thetinyactivist.com/scientific-september-roundup/
"The best part about this compendium of STEM experiments is their step-by-step instructions WITH photos! This would be great for after school programs, nature centers that do programs for young kids, or libraries!"

Astronomy Ireland Magazine

"The inside of the book really takes science to another level for these young minds, with simple instructions and a combination of superb photos and illustrations. The simplicity of the tasks is also a great bonus. Virtually all materials needed will be standard household items. This is a golden opportunity to make chance for learning and bonding with your child."

"an amazing book, full of 30 hands on STEM experiments to try at home with your kids. It starts with an introduction that explains why Science is so important, how to stay safe and some useful tools that you will need. Each experiment is shown with real life photos and fun illustrations, a 'you will need' list, a 'tip' for the experiment and then numbered instructions. At the bottom of each experiment is a 'science made simple' explanation of what's happening in the experiment and why. The language is simple and clear, so older children could follow the experiments themselves (though anything like this is best supervised of course). There is a really useful glossary at the back of the book, full of brilliant STEM based vocabulary too. We absolutely adore this book and whole heartedly recommend it."

"Providing hours of fun learning, this book is particularly useful for homeschooling."

@bookishwaytoplay Instagram review
"I'm also thrilled that this STEM activity book has been written by two women, who want all children to fall in love with science at home. It's full of STEM experiments that are easy to do, use everyday materials (most of the time) and are great fun. The instructions for each experiment are clear and detailed (sometimes very detailed), so they are easy to follow, but you will need to be a confident reader to access the information independently."

"This book is packed with 30 wonderful Science experiments, which mr J can't wait to try next. The instructions are easy to follow and there is a simple explanation of the science behind the fun"

"Another book to add to your shelf, especially if you're a homeschooler. This fun book has 30 amazing science experiments...A lot of these experiments use things you have around the house or can be acquired quite cheap and easily".

@readersaurus Instagram review
"There are 30 STEM experiments within these pages to keep the learning fun all at home. All you need is your kitchen pantry, an eager learner, and a creation station! "


@babylibrarians Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CTR1BPPnIDH/
"I love that, for the most part, the ingredients are actually things around the house. Almost all the other science experiment books I've seen require lots of purchases but we were able to immediately start experimenting when the book came in the mail. The instructions are easy and illustrated, the materials easy to find, and there's science facts following each experiment...This would be perfect for homeschooling too"

@mylittlebrightsparks Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CTU4Xfvl7Zw/
"I love how this makes Science experiments more accessible to do at hone with simple step by step instructions with ' you will need' list and images to support them"

"Awesome, indeed! This activity guide balances learning with fun by choosing a range of crafts and model experiments from a number of scientific disciplines. The activities are simple in construction, and most can easily be replicated with items that can be found around the house. Each features clear photography and illustrations to walk bookworms through the instructions while also breaking down the STEM/STEAM elements that the experiment exhibits into easily-understood language. This is a great manual for any home library, and can provide families with a wealth of rainy-day activities that are both fun and educational"
