Help your child to think and work like a scientist with Mr Shaha's Recipes for Wonder. Learn about sound by making wine glasses sing, investigate chemical reactions with vitamin-powered rockets, and explore Newton's Third Law by making balloon driven cars. This is not a book just for children, it's a book for the grown-ups who want to enthuse and inspire young people through science. Why does the ...? What is ...? How does ...? Why is ...? What are all the parts of a flower? How does a wine glass sing? I don't know! But soon you will. Every child can be a scientist with the help of Mr Shaha's Recipes for Wonder. There are experiments galore to do at home: from making a balloon-powered car, to dissecting a daffodil. With beautiful and detailed illustrations by Emily Robertson, this is the perfect book for a scientifically inclined young mind.
