## Description

Ever wanted to take apart the microwave to see how it works? Crack open your computer and peek inside? Intrigued by how things work? So are we! That's why we're dissecting all kinds of things from rubber erasers to tractor beams! Read along as National Geographic Kids unplugs, unravels, and reveals how things do what they do. Complete with "Tales from the Lab," true stories, biographies of real scientists and engineers, exciting diagrams and illustrations, accessible explanations, trivia, and fun features, this cool book explains it all!

Review: Great book - My nine year old grandson loves this book. It is so interesting and he loves sharing the facts he reads in it with his mom and uncle.
Review: Very cool book - Very cool book, even I learned things. Got it for a 5 yro, he loves it and wants to do all the experiments. Some content is over his head still, but for the most part we were able to read all of it and he really enjoyed it including diagrams that further the explanations. I'd recommend if you have a kid who is really into science and non-fiction, but not for any younger than 5.
