A compendium of science experiments you can do in your own kitchen or backyard using common household items. It reveals important principles in physics, engineering, and chemistry through such marvels as the Helevator - a contraption that's half helicopter, half elevator - and the Rocket Railroad, which pumps propellant up from its own track. "This really is the ultimate science project book and could be used as the basis of a great science club or for ideas for some interesting and unexpected physics demonstrations. The projects range from simple to quite challenging and all of them are original and guaranteed to work. There should be a copy of the book in the school and staff library. There is also a video on YouTube featuring the author that is well worth watching."---Sandra Baggley, School Science Review
