If your kids love doing science experiments, or are required to do them for a science fair, you will love Mensa Science Experiments. I must admit upfront that I am a little biased about this book since my father, Dan Keen, and his friend, Bob Bonnet, wrote it. They have published dozens of science project books over the years. You probably even have a few at your local library.

Although this book is 287 pages long, it is smaller in size to make it easier for little hands. The font size is also slightly bigger for younger children who aren’t expert readers quite yet.

The book is broken up into three subject so that students can quickly get to the experiments that interest them. These subjects include Chemistry, Energy, and Physics. There are 21 experiments listed for the Chemistry chapter, 28 experiments in the Energy chapter, and 21 experiments in the Physics chapter.

Each experiment in the book lists the things you will in order to complete the experiment. You are then given a purpose, overview, hypothesis, procedure, and results and conclusion. If you are a student who likes to keep exploring a topic, then you will love the final section which is entitled “Something more.”

Some experiments you can expect to find in Mensa Science Experiments are Better Bubbles, One if by Land, Siphon Fun, We Deplore Pollution, Shrinking Cubes, The Sound of Time, and Getting Steamed.

As a kid, my sister and I completed many of these science experiments with my dad. I now use them with my own daughter, and I plan on passing the books to her children one day. The experiments are timeless, and teach kids a lot about the world around them.
