Robert Winston’s award-winning collection of 120 science experiments is the ultimate hands-on companion for curious young minds. With more than 350 photographs and illustrations, every activity comes with step-by-step visual and text instructions clear enough to follow independently, plus explanations of the science behind each result. Beginners can start with crowd-pleasing classics — blowing gigantic bubbles, growing colourful crystals, launching bottle rockets — before advancing to more ambitious challenges involving light and electricity, such as building a homemade flashlight or constructing a radio capable of picking up actual signals. Most experiments use everyday, affordable materials likely already found at home; a handful may need a quick trip to a chemist or hardware store. The book is designed for repeat use: running each experiment more than once is how real scientists test and refine their findings.
