Introduce future engineers, inventors, naturalists, and artists to the physics and chemistry, biology and ecology that can be found in everyday play. Create chemical reactions, explore gravity and friction, transform states of matter, play with air pressure, and much more through 52 simple experiments that zip and zoom, fly and fizz, bubble and burst. Geek mom Lynn Brunelle has created an interactive guide perfect for both kids and their parents: the projects will engage children ages 4 to 8, and the informative lessons will help parents when asked the inevitable question, why?

Praise:
"Lynn Brunelle loves science of any size and the process of discovery. In Big Science for Little People she shows you how to tag along with kids (of all ages) as they experience a spectrum of science experiments from the tame tabletop to the explosive, messy sidewalk. Open this book to any page and geek out!" —Bill Nye, the Science Guy
