MythBusters Science Fair Book

I really like this book. My son (age 10) uses it for his science fair projects. As a family, we love Mythbusters! The projects are easy to follow. However I wish it did not give the results they got. I want my son to figure this out for himself w/o any preconceived notions on what the end result will be. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It's a fun book.

Fun

I got this for my 10 y/o daughter, who is a big fan of the show. As a science teacher, I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching an episode of Mythbusters with my daughter and having her ask scientific questions (#proudpapa). This book looked like the next logical step to feed her curiosity. As fun as it is to watch Mythbusters with her, it has been INFINITELY more fun to physically bust some myths using home experiments with her.

Cool book, my son loves looking at it and is totally excited about trying out some of the experiments. The items are easily obtained. Only set back- my son watches the show so much he already knows the outcome of some of the experiments. I can hear him muttering under his breath while looking through the book "oh that one was busted already...no point in trying that one". Still a cool book though

These guys were amusing for the first two or three seasons, then not to much. Although they make an attempt to conduct empirical experiments scientifically, they often do not have large enough samples, regularly have trouble measuring results, and most of the experiments are more like demonstrations, as they know what will happen a priori. Still, there are many similar books that are not as well done.

The book and its activities were positively received by a small group of boys ages 9-13.

What can I say we are talking Mythbusters. I teach third graders science at an after-school program and this is just what I was looking for. the kids are always wanting to see projects that will literally leave them breathless. Then they have a million questions and this book has all of the answers. I love it and I can't for summer to be over so I can start using it.

My son loves science experiments and watching mythbusters. So I bought him this book. He loved it. It has easy experiments for him to do on his own, and harder ones to do with help. It also will be perfect when school requires him to do a science fair project, as I have no imagination and was really dreading it!

A Good few experiments that aren't that hard to pull off in your home or garden, I had fun doing them with the kids and we especially like the coke rocket with the mentos.

My son loves the show so the book has been good for him to read and see just how much goes in to these experiments.

Excellent book my 7 year old son loves it. We tried many of the experiments and all were well explained and easy for him to follow.
