About the Book
This award-winning science book is bubbling over with entertaining and educational experiments for budding scientists to follow at home or in the classroom.
"Stir up some sticky slime, build a Solar System with rubber bands, power a speed boat using soap, and construct an erupting volcano, all with Home Lab, exciting experiments for budding scientists. Including a foreword by Professor Robert Winston, Home Lab is pack with 28 brilliant projects, using clear step-by-step instructions, everyday ingredients that can be found around the house and amazing photography to guide you from start to finish. Plus fact-filled panels explain the science behind every experiment, as well as real-world examples providing a context to better understand scientific principles. Perfect for budding scientists and crafters, Home Lab will keep children entertained for hours."
Build a soap-powered sailboat, recreate the Solar System out of rubber bands, construct your own colourful kaleidoscope, or make mouthwatering monster marshmallows. Explore the whole range of imaginative activities on offer to see why Home Lab bagged the Royal Society's prestigious Young People's Book Prize.

Review:
"Inspire the scientists of the future with this collection of 28 hands-on projects for kids." - BBC Focus
"Packed full of wonderful science experiments for children to try at home, devised by the great scientist himself. This summer your children can spend their days writing in invisible ink, creating fizzy bath bombs or designing sun prints. A must-have for any budding scientist." - Angels & Urchins
"Home Lab is a good example of science not just being a theoretical study, but it's actually for kids to get their hands stuck in, ask questions and find out what's going on. There are wonderful experiments in this which I've done with the school children I work with and they've really enjoyed them. I think it's very important to show that science isn't just done in a laboratory, it isn't just studied at university -
actually you can do it yourself with simple materials. The book has very easy to follow instructions, even for somebody like me, even I can do them. It's interactive and I think it's important to have that element in the shortlist." - Martin Chilton, Judge of the Royal Society Young People's Science Book Prize
