At first I picked this book to help with home-schooling, but it's a bit much for where my son is. It also doesn't explain theory as clearly as I'd like. That said, this book is AWESOME! Every page made me want to go try things. The experiments cover safety and post experiment waste disposal; things parents are concerned about.


Whether or not my son chooses to join me in "the lab", I can see several months of fascination and pure joy of learning ahead.
