Explorabook - Kids Science Museum in a Book

A hands-on science museum, squeezed between the covers of a book. Tons of experiments are featured, and nearly all of them can be done right on the spot, using the magnifying lens, magnet, agar and other bound-in apparatus.

The aim was to take the San Francisco Exploratorium and squeeze it between the covers of a book. Inside the book are pages that reflect, magnify or grow into ugly bacteria-infested messes if you spit in to them (per the instructions). Seven subjects are covered, including light wave craziness, ouchless physics and hair dryer science.

Written by John Cassidy & The Exploratorium. 100 pages. Full color.
