Cz mama Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I am looking for a book for my DH to use with our boys. Not a curriculum type set up, but more of an idea book of science projects with a basic explaination of the science behind the project. DH will be doing it with boys age 11 and 7. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alte Veste Academy Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The Best of Wonderscience books, out out by the American Chemical Society, would be perfect for this. You can see samples at the site, but the books are cheaper used at Amazon. https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/resources/k-8/thebestof.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We are using the Thames & Kosmos Physics Workshop set. We did the first one today and they loved it! There is an included guide with the experiments and some background information and explanations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I just saw this in a museum store and thought it looked awesome. I actually got an idea to suggest to DS for his upcoming fifth grade science fair project while looking through it. https://www.amazon.com/Maker-Lab-Projects-Invent-Discover/dp/1465451358/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471055349&sr=8-1&keywords=smithsonian+maker+lab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The Janice Van Cleave books would be right up your alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We have one called geek dad. I think it looks awesome, but dh hasn't ever actually gotten around to doing anything. Maybe I'll go through it with them someday. Sent from my HTCD200LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Exploratopia and Exploralab would be good for those ages. Another idea would be a simple science kit that comes with the pieces needed. We like ScienceWiz. They have an instruction book with lots of explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
