Reviews
“The creator of the Mentos Diet Coke geyser experiment that became a YouTube video sensation, Spangler uses cheap, everyday materials to invent entertaining, highly kid-appealing activities, many of which are collected in this volume. Heavily illustrated with color photos and described in funny, casual prose, the experiments will easily engage a young audience, and each is followed by a succinct explanation of the science concepts at play, from the potato launcher, which encourages kids to shoot spud pellets at close range as they learn about pressure and volume, to bouncing and folding eggs and soda-bottle lava lamps, which demonstrate chemical reactions and density. Serious safety cautions appear throughout the irreverent chapters, while “Take It Further” sections encourage fired-up lab partners to continue the activities. A boon for parents and teachers alike, this should find a large, enthusiastic audience.”
“The celebrity science teacher behind the Mentos & Diet Coke soda geyser phenomenon, toy designer, author, host of Science Mondays and The Spangler Effect, and regular guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show teaches readers how to so some amazingly cool science experiments in his latest book Fire Bubbles and Exploding Toothpaste – MORE Unforgettable Experiments that Make Science Fun.”

inexperienced science parent –
I am an inexperienced science parent of a five year old that loves science. The experiments were awesome but some of the materials and equipment were harder to come by and some seemed to dangerous for me to try…being so inexperienced. This would ROCK for high school science teachers – in my opinion.
