Children’s Learning and Education
Date Published: June, 2017
With this book all you need to do is gather a few household items and you can recreate dozens of mind-blowing, kid-tested science experiments. Meant for kids between six to ten, it is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction book for children. It introduces kids to the magic of motion, energy, chemistry, art, games, math fun; understanding basic scientific principles and most importantly, having a blast making them. Inside this book you will find projects that bursts, glows, erupts, spins, runs, ticks and more!
There is also a BONUS: A FREE downloadable book on young kid inventors and their inventions.
About the Author
Sumita Mukherjee is a NASA STEM certified leader and children’s book author. She has been fortunate enough to travel around the globe, explore many countries and meet different people. Mysteries and adventures have been captured from there in the form of Keiko and Kenzo’s travel adventure series. These books are to inspire young readers to know and appreciate various countries, develop a love for discovery and learn about the world around them. Her series of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) books encourages kids to invent and explore, to empower themselves and see themselves as world leaders and problem solvers. Her books celebrate diversity, spark curiosity and capture children's imaginations! Sumita currently lives in Toronto with her family.
Her website, WizKids.Club was created with a vision to raise the next generation of creative leaders. WizKids.Club offers highly engaging kids activities, educational books, experiments, hands-on projects, DIYs, travel stories and engineering books perfect for children 4-12 years to spark creativity and scientific learning.

Review:
Cool Science Experiments for Kids! is filled with exactly that, creative and fun science experiments that will seem like play. Perfect summertime boredom busters or rainy day excitement. The book is split into four sections focusing on experiments with motion and energy, chemistry and reactions, math fun and crafts and games.
Each experiment is clearly outlined with the materials you need, the difficulty level, time it will takes and step-by-step directions with pictures. The experiments are gauged for children ages 6-10 but younger children could definitely do these with a little more adult help and older children would enjoy some of the engineering challenges and chemical reactions.
As a science educator, I have done many of the activities presented; although there are easier ways to go about things and I have found some new ideas. In my summer camps I am trying the bursting bag chemical reaction, marble race challenge and Lego merry-go-round, which looks a lot like a fidget spinner and will be sure to please. For those who may not be science educators or science minded there are 'science fun factors' for some of the experiments; however, I do wish they would be expanded upon a little bit more to fully explain the science behind each experiment. Overall, great science ideas for growing minds!

Here is a sample experiment to try from the book!
PULLEY
Make a simple pulley using a wheel and axle from household goods
MATERIALS
1 yarn ball
1 empty ribbon spool
1 plastic cup
Tape
Scissors
Pencils or wood for the axle
DIFFICULTY: 2 dots
TIME: 30 mins
SCIENCE FUN FACTS: Learn about a simple machine like a pulley. How it can make things easier to move from one place to another. Understand how wheel and axle can be used to make lifting easy and effective.
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Make the pulley basket: Take the plastic cup and make 3 holes like a triangle.

STEP 2: Feed some yarn through the holes and tie, giving the cup a short handle.
STEP 2: Feed some yarn through the holes and tie, giving the cup a short handle.
STEP 3: Construct the pulley: Tie the yarn to the basket. The length of the yarn can be 10 feet or more, depending on how long you want the rope to be.
STEP 4: Run the yarn over the spool.
STEP 5: Insert the pencil through the spool hole and tape both the ends to the staircase railing bars. This should be done in such a way that the basket dangles from the stairs and can be easily pulled up or down. Your pulley is ready! Have fun lifting things all the way to the top of the stairs!
The pulley with the basket is ready! Have fun pulling and moving things from one place to the other.
