Outdoor Science Lab for Kids: 52 Family-Friendly Experiments for the Yard, Garden, Playground, and Park (Volume 6) (Lab for Kids, 6)

The kids were 8 and 6 when we got this book. They're a year older now and they still like it!! We got it for fun but we also use it to supplement homeschooling science curriculum. It is a very interactive outdoor resource. Broken up into 12 units with 4 or 5 activities in each unit. Cheap and sometimes free nothing in here is difficult to set up really except maybe ones needing a kid pool and hose depending on what type of city you're living in.

This was a hit with my 7 year old great granddaughter! While this book is meant for older children, she is a quick learner and performs above her age level. She loves exploring nature in the out of doors and all things science. Her immediate response was to learn an experiment and show me how it was done and what it proved. Even though the book is intended for older children, there is enough variety to keep a wide range of children interested.

Great book for those outdoorsy kids in your life or those who need a boost to get them interested in the outdoors. This book will give them wonderful ideas for adventures and provide an opportunity to learn along the way. Liz does such a great job in providing all the information you need for fun science projects that will turn into great family events and they have each been tested with her own family. This is also a great book to donate to your child’s school library!

a gift for grandson. Good opportunity for outdoor fun while learning. Good father/son activity and mom too!

We are loving this book! Easy to understand the experiments as it is all layed out so nicely on every page. My daughter went through the book and took sticky notes to mark what experiments she wanted to do.... She is 10 years old. Her little sister who is 5 helped make the lip balm which was really fun. A few tips.... We found lip balm plastic holders at the hobby lobby store, we used pure beeswax soap from whole foods and chopped it up, and we used flavored drinks to create the scent. Super fun and super sciency!!! 5 stars for this book!

Got this for the cold Minnesota weather! My grandson and I loved it!!! Made snow volcano’s every weekend! Got lots of wild food coloring. Lots of fun things that we are looking forward to do in the summer!

Lots of fun ideas but some were a little obvious, better for younger kids, and some required materials I just don’t have. The book did inspire us to create our own experiments though!

it was a good book just was hunting something else I think
