Popular Scientific Recreations - Science Experiments for Children

Originally published in the late 1800s, this is a book of simple-to-perform scientific experiments, designed to interest children in science. The experiments in the book, ' have been designed to be at once entertaining and illustrative of scientific laws they can be carried out successfully by anyone who follows the instructions carefully'. All the experiments can be performed at home with the minimum of materials. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
