<b>A hands-on science book packed with fun experiments from rockstar science educator Carmelo the Science Fellow!</b> <br> Designed to encourage kids' natural love of science from an early age, this book promotes scientific observation, exploration, and analysis in a way that little kids can get excited about--through do-it-yourself experiments! Each chapter introduces a different branch of science, including biology, chemistry, and physics through kid-friendly experiments--all of which are <b>linked to science curriculum requirements for grades K through 3.<br></b> Each experiment includes an introductory question, complete materials list, step-by-step instructions, and Carmelo's characteristic kid-tested jokes--and is accompanied by full-color photos. The experiments utilize common materials typically found around the house. A little bit of help from a grown-up is recommended, and encourages family science time. <br><br>"With his exuberant personality, emphasizing humor above all, Mr. Piazza has earned the reputation as the archetypal cool teacher among the younger set."--<i>The New York Times</i><br><br>"Since getting tons of buzz for his goofball approach to science, Boerum Hill resident Carmelo Piazza has seen demand for his summer camps, kids' classes and birthday parties soar."--<i>Time Out Kids NY</i>
