Industry Reviews

"The activities have been carefully thought through, and require little more than ordinary household materials. There's information on what happened in the experiment and also how this new knowledge is applied in the real world.
"I was particularly hooked on the section about biology... I really enjoyed reading this book and performing the experiments, and would suggest it to primary and high-school students interested in science."
Lior Yoffe, "Double Helix Reader's Review", Double Helix, September 2016, p. 33

"For those wanting to bring some excitement back into science in their school and perhaps develop a science club or family science night, this book would be a fantastic resource."
Peter Hope, Let's Find Out journal, 34(3) 2017
