The Curious Boy's Book of Exploration

The Curious Boy's Book of Exploration by Sam Martin

Boys of all ages like to play the young scientist, show off with card tricks, and solve mind-bending puzzles. They want to know it all, try things out, and amaze their friends. They like to experiment, repair, and create.

Grab a bottle, a candle, a bit of paper, and a balloon, and head off into the laboratory to discover the weird world of science. Make a model solar system, nurture a caterpillar into a butterfly, and impress your friends with matchstick magic and flying teabags!

Make stink bombs and soda geysers to play tricks on your friends. Build a model hovercraft and a boat powered only by soap. Be a detective by picking up fingerprints and taking plaster casts. Use chemistry to turn an egg into a mirror and make a self-inflating balloon.
