What might be more fun for kids than to have the type of rip-roaring good time that harkens back to pre-video game, pre-computer days? Introducing 64 valuable science experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink! From Marshmallows on Steroids to Home-Made Lightning, the Sandwich Bag Bomb to Giant Air Cannon, The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science awakens kids’ curiosity even as demonstrating scientific principles like osmosis, air pressure, and Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

Kids will love performing these experiments, which use common household ingredients and equipment, in front of an audience or for themselves (though many require adult supervision). Entries are categorized into seven chapters in line with scientific theme and are written in a simple-to-follow recipe format. every includes a detailed explanation of the scientific principle involved and a “Take Care!” section with special tips. The book’s design and illustrations recall the pulp fiction look of science magazines from the days when space shuttle used to be still regarded as sci-fi, even as the creator’s voice is wry and a bit conspiratorial. He assumes his readers are clever and never coddles them. Drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts! Launch a rocket constituted of a film canister! Encase your little brother in a giant soap bubble! For young scientists—and the young at heart—this book is a blast. Literally.
