How Does It Work?
Why does it do that? Develop an elemental understanding of magnetism, electromagnetism, electrochemistry, radio, thermodynamics, light and optics. Simon Quellen Field's 228-page paperback, Gonzo Gizmos, Projects & Devices to Channel your Inner Geek explains processes, equipment and scientific terms -- and then, for starters, tells you things like how to make a rotary steam engine in 15 minutes from a soda can, a candle and a few scraps of rubber tubing. It's the favorite of our resident geeks -- but not for kids unless they're working with an adult. That would be a mature adult. An insured, mature adult.

Short-Order Science Projects
Are we the Parents' Pal or what? No household with normal school-age children (ages 9-12) can afford to be without Sterling Publishing's 112pp hardcover book, "Last-Minute Science Fair Projects." Ten of them take "a week or two," (13) take "a few short days," but fully (22) projects can be completed in under (24) hours, a few in mere minutes. And yes, most everything you need is somewhere in the house so you won't need to find an all-night hardware store. Bonus: No baking-soda volcanoes!
