Caroline Alliston's fantastic "Build It" has an amazing selection of 'make' projects to really engage scientific young minds.
If your kids love finding out how things work, but also love building their own experiments and brilliant projects then this is going to blow their socks right off.
Caroline has gathered together a stunningly diverse range of projects to test their science knowledge, building skills and logical thinking with a series of builds that range from the uber-simple "Cartesian Diver" project, right through to some really complex stuff like the self-drive buggy and the traffic lights system.
Each build comes with a set of templates and clear instructions to get you up to speed in no time at all.
Quite a few of the projects require some fairly specialist components, so it's fair to say that for the more complex projects you might want to research a little bit first - but most of the components are fairly cheap and there are full details provided in the book.
Thoroughly absorbing, this really is a fantastic book for science and engineering mad kids.
"Build It!" by Caroline Alliston is out now, published by Sterling (kindly supplied for review).
