Review: Excellent book - Very interesting book with exciting science experiments for children. I have used this book many times during science lessons! Review: An ideal book for budding young scientists - Having browsed through it in a bookshop, I bought this book for my grandson because it has one of the best sets of practical experiments I've seen. In addition, each exercise has a simple account of the science behind the procedure, so it's not just "gee-whiz". The exercises vary from the very simple to the quite elaborate, and in some cases (as a retired scientist myself) I found myself wishing for the facilities of a workshop. However, given the number of offerings, this is no great problem, and a bright child will enjoy helping with the construction of gadgets, and even more so in performing the experiments personally. Highly recommended. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 395,158 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 157 in Children's Books on Science Experiments & Projects 217 in Children's Books on Inventions & Inventors 3,156 in Nature Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | ## Images ![Science Experiments: Loads of Explosively Fun Activities to do! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1ZzN9wv0-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by C***S on 26 July 2025* Very interesting book with exciting science experiments for children.

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensible science experiments for children. *by B***1 on 10 April 2012* This is a large book. It measures 12" high, 10 1/4" wide and over 1/2" thick. Anyone who has ever read a DK book will be familiar with there standard fare. DK books feature large, very high quality, full colour photographs on a good thick glossy paper. In general, the photographs make the book, but DK is never short on information either. This book provides clear step by step details for 85 experiments, as well as information on how each experiment works, and the scientific principles involved. When this book arrived, my sons both sat down quite happily to look through and help choose which experiments to try first. This is not our first science book, and we do like messy science, so I'm afraid we had already tried a great many of the experiments, but they immediately found one they were both desperate to try. This experiment requires dry ice, as did the next experiment they chose, so I told them I would have to see if we could order any online. I spent hours searching through the net, and the best price I found was Β£50 + postage. This was out of my price range, so I'm afraid we will never be trying the very best experiments. We found other experiments we wanted to try. Some worked, some did not. I also found a number of items that were not really household items were required, such as a black light. We bought one just for an experiment, but ours was not as powerful as the one used for illustration, and the results nowhere near so striking. Other materials the average household may not have to hand include alum and glycerine, but these are not hard to come by. The majority of experiments to use common household items, and the majority are easy enough to reproduce, as long as you don't expect quite the same results as in the illustrations. Overall, we really enjoyed this book, there are plenty of fun, hands on ways to learn science, but as a home educator, I was already familiar with almost all of the experiments that we were able to do. I think it only fair to mention that almost all of these experiments can easily be found online for free, but then you don't have as much detailed information on the science behind it, or the lovely photos. Still, it is a fun resource for the children to thumb through on a rainy day and choose activities, and it does have a fair amount of educational value. My children are ages 3 and 7. While the 3 year old had fun with some of the experiments this book is best suited to older children. I would say age 5 at least with quite a lot of parental help. As far as reading level, I would put this at about age 8+ but I would not want children under 12 doing many of these experiments without adult supervision. ## Frequently Bought Together - Science Experiments: Loads of Explosively Fun Activities to do! - 101 Great Science Experiments --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/49956730-science-experiments-loads-of-explosively-fun-activities-to-do](https://www.desertcart.be/products/49956730-science-experiments-loads-of-explosively-fun-activities-to-do) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
