Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things
The subtitle for Cy Tymony's delightful little book, Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things, is "How to turn a penny into a radio, make a flood alarm with an aspirin, change milk into plastic, extract water and electricity from air, turn on a TV with your ring, and other amazing feats."
The projects are easy to make, in fact, you probably have 95% of the materials needed for all the projects at home already. The explanations are well-thought out and the back-of-a-napkin sketches are a joy to look at. If you have kids, they love this book, which has a lot of ideas I've never seen in any other science project book. Link /
