Title synopsis

Stand back--genius at work! Adapted from the bestselling "Book of Totally Irresponsible Science" and "Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science," with 367,000 copies in print combined, here is a kit to perform 18 experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink. Included is a fully illustrated 72-page book with step-by-step instructions for the 18 experiments, including notes on how much time each experiment takes, the necessary materials, warnings when applicable--these are irresponsible experiments, after all--and the "scientific excuse" to do the experiment. Sure, it's a blast to send up a Soda Bottle Rocket, but it's also worth doing because it illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion. And that messy and seemingly risky combination of ooze and electricity in the Static Electricity Slime? It demonstrates a fourth form of matter beyond solid, liquid, and gas--a colloid. Packaged inside are four helpful instruments for young scientists: a lateral split-orb measuring spoon, a vacuumatic test tube, a matter-retaining measuring cup, and photon-refracting goggles. So go ahead: Encase a younger sibling in a giant soap bubble. Drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts. Shoot a bolt of lightning from your fingertip. Any curious kid would be irresponsible "not "to try these experiments.
