700 Science Experiments for Everyone

Summary: A Classic For Young Scientists
Review: I grew up with this book in the 70's. It is packed full of simple apparatus to build covering most fields of science. For some reason, the weather instruments you can build stand out in my mind as particularly engaging - and of course the chemistry examples.

I seem to recall a carbon-rod oven/kiln you could build (I did) and it seems to have gone missing in this more modern edition (and perhaps just as well, it was truly dangerous). Otherwise, this is good old fashioned science experiments and apparatus straight out of the 60's. It is getting to be a tired old saw, but I have to say it: this book helps in some small way to fill what has gone missing in modern education and a child's youth. Turn off the T.V. and head into the garage/basement for some science fun and education.

Summary: A Classic of Simplicity and Clarity
Review: I grew up with this book in the early 1960's. It is a true classic. UNESCO's intention was to make science education possible in parts of the world where sophisticated apparatus is unavailable. The effect has been to create concise, memorable illustrations of scientific principles available to everyone.
