Janice VanCleave's Astronomy for Every Kid: 101 Easy Experiments that Really Work (Science for Every Kid Series): 101 Easy Experiments that Really Work (Science for Every Kid Series): 88

A brilliant book that explains astronomical concepts with a pencil, a penny and some stickyback plastic. Blue Peter write large

very satisfied customer! Thanks!

These books have just the right balance of fun and education. They are structured classically and scientifically starting with equipment needed (all very easily obtained), the procedure, what you should observe and ending with an excellent clear explnantion of the science behind the observation. Our two children aged eight and ten are really enjoying using these books. I believe science is fun and unlike 'school-type' curriculum science these books provide a way for children to explore and find out about the world around them for themselves.
