Learn how science relates to the world in this new addition to the award-winning series

Excite young minds with these 25 mind-blowing, hands-on STEM experiments for curious kids.

From racing wind-up cars and building a sturdy sandcastle to creating a wave machine and making music with a homemade guitar, Science Lab is packed with 25 exciting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) activities. Why do rafts float? How do bridges stay upright? How do seals stay warm? And how can you make a ball levitate? Each activity explores core STEM ideas to help young readers discover the answers to these fascinating questions for themselves.

Simple, easy-to-follow, photographic steps guide young readers through each experiment, along with essential tips and engaging STEM facts. "Test and tweak" boxes encourage readers to take their projects to the next level, while "Real world" stories show how STEM ideas make up our modern, everyday world.

Science Lab is perfect for firing up kids' imaginations, for homework help and for rainy day projects.

Praise for Science Lab

A great way to show how to have fun

Child age 9, Toppsta

I loved the photos and all the step by step instructions... if I had been younger I would have loved this book especially in the long school holidays

Parent with children age 11 (Year 6) and Year 8, Toppsta

The experiments make you want to start straight away... with photographic step-by-step instructions and an explanation of the science behind them. They all inspire further learning too. A thoroughly great, quality book. Would recommend!

Parent with child age 7, Toppsta

This book is bright, beautiful and colourful and has everything that the young and aspirational scientist might need to explore the world around them

Parent with child age 5, Toppsta

The illustrations are very good and I would recommend it for any fans of science

Child age 8, Toppsta

I think this book is excellent... I can't wait to take it in to show my friends at school

Child age 10, Toppsta

It is really good if you like science and experiments... I recommend the book for Year Two and Key Stage Two children

Parent with child age 6, Toppsta

Looking through they are certainly all exciting and challenging activities to inspire and possibly stretch the young STEM enthusiast
