Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Battery Science: Widgets that Work
I used this to teach my Webelos Scouts (age 10) how electricity works and make things go. They mostly had fun using the fan to make horrible noises cutting pieces of paper, but they got the point of the experiment.

Requires fine motor skills; may be difficult for some to do without adult help.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book is great!
I got this book for my 11th birthday and I absolutely love it. My friend and I spent an entire day building many of the projects. The submersible worked well, but I had trouble getting the hovercraft to lift off. It's also possible to make your own designs work well. It's cool that they included a motor with gills so it can go under water.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Intro to Electricity
My five year old son bought this book and it has proved to be fantastic. He cannot do the experiments by himself yet- we've been big helpers.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Klutz Battery Science is a big hit with homeschoolers!
With very few supplies you have to find (cardboard, soda bottle caps, binder clips) on your own this is a terrific educational fun book/kit for children of both sexes!

The best part is that children are encouraged to experiment. When my nearly 8 year old son made "The Impossible Project", he got the lightbulb to light up but he couldn't get it to shut off. After undoing it and rebuilding it a second time he found success!
