Book Review: Smithsonian Makers Lab Outdoors
/We purchased Makers Lab book at AJ’s school book fair last year. There are twenty-five outdoor science projects and experiments. We love fostering creativity through hands-on learning and this book is a great addition to our toolkit.
Projects focus on Earth and the environment, plants and animals, weather, water, and physics, bringing science-based learning home and into the backyard. Young scientists can build a wormery and learn about compost, crack rocks with water and learn about freezing and thawing, build and launch a water rocket to see Newton's laws in action, and much more.
With stunning photography, succinct step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations, Maker Lab: Outdoors takes readers on a journey of discovery. This book is a must-have for every young scientist curious about their surroundings, as well as makers, crafters, and those who enjoy exploring the outdoors. There different books of the Smithsonian Makers Lab series; see below for a few of our favorites.
Written by Head Rascal (Ngoc Nguyen Lay), mother of two rascals, ages 4 and 7.
