The Geek Dad Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists: The Coolest Experiments and Projects for Science Fairs and Family Fun

Very cute! Can’t wait to use these ideas. Many of the experiments are available for free online, but these are pre-tested, fool-prof, and it’s nice to let the little one flip through and pick out an experiment.

This is generally a pretty good book. Lots of cool and fun ideas.However, a fair number of these projects require far more patience and time than my kids would put up with. Or me.If you have bright kids with good listening skills and lots of patience, this is the book for you.If you have kids that tend to get bored when things are not moving fast enough to keep them interested, like I do, you might want to stick to old fashioned sports.

I went to school for the hard sciences, so when I saw this, I had to have it.I'm used to cold boring instructions from college text books and lab exercise manuals, which we were somehow able to decipher to do our course work, but this book is an easy and fun read. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the degree of complexity of the projects is clearly labeled.You don't have to be a science geek to do these projects.

Schools aren't really teaching what I'd call science, at least where I live. After a few years of trying to follow the schools guidance on projects I thankfully found Ken's series of books. Not only are his projects great fun for the whole family, my kids are actually learning science.

Great, great, GREAT book for any child or adult that loves science! So many experiments that are easily done around the home. I am really looking forward to the adventures our son is going to have exploring science through these experiments :) A great buy and one I highly recommend for anyone with a love, or even just a curiosity about science.

problem: computer-progammer pro seeks fun times with five-year-old daughter. oops -- kids don't run on "0" and "1" series! you catch that spark in a different way. dads will invent and five-year-olds will reinterpret happier with ken denmead's delightful ideas book that goes many steps beyond finding out how many buckets of water + how much mud = the amount of mud that makes mom self-propel.

The person I gifted this too has claimed to really have enjoyed it.

I found this book for my son in law.

Great for Dads and Kids to get involved with each other doing real stuff, Mum can help out too.

If you're schedule is crazy this might not be the book for you. But if you have some time on your hands and an inquisitive kid then this is perfect.

This book is great, very interesting and simple to follow, I would recommend this book to any aspiring Mad scientist.

Get them all. You'll be so glad you did. Ken is brilliant.

This was a gift and the recipient upon opening the book found lots to be done and interesting experiments using every day materials. Great book for entertaining children.
