Reviews
VOYA – Allison Babin
“STARRED REVIEW! This hands-on guide teaches a variety of scientific concepts using four easily obtained supplies: craft sticks, snack packets, plastic bottles, and cardboard tubes. . . .The language is accessible and is written in a fun, energetic tone. . . .The book has a hip, graphic layout with an eye-catching cover; one teen exclaimed, “That looks so cool!” upon seeing it. This is a valuable guide for teens interested in seeing scientific concepts come to life, and could easily be adapted for library programming.” – VOYA

Science magazine – Marc Lavine
“Popsicle sticks, toilet paper tubes, food packaging, and plastic bottles are great resources for school craft projects or children’s activities for a rainy day, but with a bit of knowledge and planning, they can also be used to explain a range of scientific concepts. . . .while a little planning is needed to get the most from this book, it has the potential to be a useful resource for teachers and parents alike.” – Science magazine
