From A to Z, arachnids to zits, Oh, Ick! (Workman Publishing; $14.95; Ages 8 & up; November 1, 2016) encourages curious kids to roll up their sleeves and think like a future Nobel Prize winner. With easy-to-find materials, readers can dive into many areas of science, including chemistry, biology, physics, and a bit of entomology, engineering, and forensics, too!
Budding scientists will perform real science with ick-speriments (think Ooze Olympics and Stinky Burp Factory), build or craft something with ick-tivities (Worm Condo, anyone?), and investigate nature and the wilds of their home with ick-splorations (join us on an Insect Safari!). Every activity comes with easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions and is accompanied by gross (yet fascinating) explanations of “What Just Happened.” Brave readers will also create a stinky burp factory and bacteria hotels, solve a clogged toilets case, embark on a scat scavenger hunt, and hang out with some worms.
Whether in a kitchen, a classroom, or in the backyard, Oh, Ick! will introduce future Marie Curies and Albert Einsteins to the ooey, gooey, amazing world of science that surrounds them.
