Ben Franklin Book of Easy and Incredible Experiments: A Franklin Institute Science Museum Book (Revi

The Franklin Institute's hands-on exhibits have become a science mecca for young people. The concept has worked so well in getting children excited about science, the Institute has taken it a step further--by bringing the museum to kids. This fun and educational text focuses on subjects that were of particular interest to Ben Franklin. It contains activities that are simple to perform and require only easy-to-find materials. Experiments include building a weather station with homemade barometers and creating an orchestra with panpipes, water chimes and a shoe box guitar.
