Review:

Classrooms and libraries are now making sure there is plenty of room for a makers space. Kids can tinker and create and even do some cool science projects.

This guide is perfect for the kids who need to play and learn. In this handy guide, science enthusiasts can learn about simple machines, systems, optics, energy, acoustics, motion and more. In a hands on experiment about materials kids will learn the effects of the sun on certain colors. Kids can build there own telescopes and learn more about light. For the noise maker in your home, kids can build a kazoo to make musical sounds.

This is the perfect guide for STEM and Makers Space projects. Parents and teachers will love the easy to follow steps in the What You’ll Need and What To Do sections.  Each page has photos of real kids making things and using what they’ve made. There are also boxes for What’s Going On and Think About It, which engages kids on the experiments and what they will learn.
