A hands-on science book packed with fun experiments from rockstar science educator Carmelo the Science Fellow!
Designed to encourage kids' natural love of science from an early age, this book promotes scientific observation, exploration, and analysis in a way that little kids can get excited about--through do-it-yourself experiments! Each chapter introduces a different branch of science, including biology, chemistry, and physics through kid-friendly experiments--all of which are linked to science curriculum requirements for grades K through 3.
Each experiment includes an introductory question, complete materials list, step-by-step instructions, and Carmelo's characteristic kid-tested jokes--and is accompanied by full-color illustrations. The experiments utilize common materials typically found around the house. A little bit of help from a grown-up is recommended, and encourages family science time.
"With his exuberant personality, emphasizing humor above all, Mr. Piazza has earned the reputation as the archetypal cool teacher among the younger set."--The New York Times
"Since getting tons of buzz for his goofball approach to science, Boerum Hill resident Carmelo Piazza has seen demand for his summer camps, kids' classes and birthday parties soar."--Time Out Kids NY

About the Author:
Carmelo "the Science Fellow" Piazza has been teaching science for more than 16 years, and has become locally famous for his signature high-energy, funny, charismatic style. Carmelo's afterschool and summer camp programs are so popular that parents line up overnight in frigid February temperatures to ensure their little ones a spot! In 2013, Carmelo opened New York City's first Preschool of Science in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn--a second branch opens in Fall 2015, with plans for continued expansion. Carmelo's series of science experiment videos are popular on YouTube, and he is developing a television show. Carmelo has a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's in environmental science.

Reach up and grab your head. Feel that? No, not your hair. And take off that hat in the house! Now . . . try again. Feel what’s underneath your hair and skin? That’s your skull! The bones of your skull are super-hard so they can protect your brain. Your brain is the most important part of your body, so you gotta keep it safe! (That’s why you wear a helmet when you’re biking, scooting, snowboarding, or doing any activity that might involve falling on your head . . . that’s a time to keep it extra-safe!) If something whacks your head, your skull is what protects your brain from getting hurt. In this experiment, you’re going to invent a skull. Then we’ll smash it against a wall!(Don’t worry. Smashing something is okay when it’s a key part of an experiment.) Along with the materials to make your new skull, you’ll be using one other big piece of gear: your actual brain! Your brain will give you ideas on how to make the skull. Then your brain will tell your eyes and hands how to build it. Having a brain is pretty cool, right?
