Updated with new photographs and in full color, this new edition is even more accessible to young makers or young-at-heart makers.<br><br>In this book, you'll learn:</p><ul><li>Tinkering techniques in key science areas</li><li>How to let kids learn science with hands-on tinkering</li><li>Engaging techniques for science learning at home, in school, or at a makerspace or library</li><li>Step-by-step instructions for activities that don't end with a single project, but that provide many paths for &quot;tinkering forward&quot;.</li></ul></div>
