The easy-to-follow instructions and amazing illustrations mean that science has never been so fun!

Reviews

You can keep a moon diary, make a pinhole viewer and a sundial, dress an astronaut, guide a Mars rover, make a Martian bug, answer a quiz and take part in the Lunarlympics. And thats only half the book! A terrific learning resource, or just great fun, this is a really engaging activity book. -- minervareads * minervareads *
