Editorial Reviews

"This compilation of family-friendly experiments... will perk up public and school library STEAM collections."

—Booklist 

“Stay Curious and Keep Exploring: Next Level is jam-packed with wonderful, ACCESSIBLE home science experiments that bring learning to life! I love how this book lays out the science, teaches the methods, poses the questions, and provides the explanations to help young kids blossom in their understanding of our everyday world. The fact that most families will have the materials required just lying around is so convenient. From flying ping-pong balls to gaseous chemical concoctions, giving families the recipe to bring science education home is a BIG DEAL!”
