Summary: A True Story
Comment: When I found Flash! Bang! Pop! Fizz! I was finally impressed with a children's book of science experiments. My judgment was validated when a friend told me the following story that showed its magic.
Clients of hers recently moved into a new home. Their oldest boy was to do a science fair project in school and the family, still partially unpacked, could not put their hands on any books or materials that might prove helpful. A trip to the library left the young student totally bored and disinterested.
My friend offered her own copy of Flash! Bang! Pop! Fizz! to the distraught mother. The mother called the next day, incredulous and excited. Her son loved the books and picked out a project. The situation turned from grim to enthusiastic.
The boy is the oldest of three children and the ecstatic mother said she was going to go out and buy three copies of the book since they would be needing them for the next seven years of science!
I recommend the book to all!

Summary: Where was this book when I was a kid?
Comment: If Janet Chahrour's, "Flash! Bang! Pop! Fizz!" had been around when I was a kid in school, I'm sure my chemistry and physics grades would have been much higher. Who knows? I may have been the next Einstein!
This is a wonderful book for students to learn how to appreciate the physical sciences and have a whole lot of fun while doing so. Chahrour drew from her many years experience as a science teacher to compile 25 different activities and experiments that children can perform using everyday household items.
With amusing titles such as "Whirligig Rocketry," "Pop Can Pedestal," "Portable Alarm," "Fabulous Play Goop," and "Your Dear Friend, Egbert," children learn the basics about air pressure, density, chemical reactions, liquids, gases, gravity, motion and many other scientific concepts. In addition to clear, step-by-step instructions for each experiment, the book provides vocabulary lists and easy to understand explanations of the scientific principle under study.
The book is an easy to read large format paperback, profusely illustrated in color, and contains guidelines for parents and teachers.
Even though, I've been out of school much longer than I care to admit, I found Chahrour's book to be fascinating and fun. Although written for children from grades 5 to 9, it definitely appeals to children of all ages.
