author:  Neil Ardley 
description: When it comes to inventing things, and making bad smells and big bangs, half the children in the country would love to be scientists. This cookbook of great experiments has recipes based on the sorts of things parents already have around the house - with the emphasis on teaching the basics of science, with safety as a key concept.
