Plastic humanoids, dancing spaghetti, and rubber eggs: something wacky's going on here - and kids will love it! After all, what could be more fun than peeking into a mad scientist's notebook and finding 50 fizzing, popping projects that will light up laboratories and minds alike? Young Einsteins (and Dr. Frankensteins) will discover really cool things to do, including building a hovercraft and rocket, boiling ice without melting it, and making their fingers smoke. Notes from the mad scientist himself on richly illustrated and lined pages make the projects even more entertaining! But don't be fooled: these irresistible experiments demonstrate important principles of physics, biology, and chemistry. So kids will safely learn all about science...even if they're too busy making a mess to realise it.
