'That's the trouble with the real world. Too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old.' Walt Disney How many men have felt that way but then just shrugged and returned to the 'real world'? How many, deep inside, want to release the little boy inside and let rip? Wholly Irresponsible Experiments offers a chance to do just that. Scores of experiments take you through a dazzling array of not just snaps, crackles and pops, but oozes, crashes, booms and stinks. Irresponsible - maybe. Totally fun - definitely! Each experiment is clearly explained, with ingredients, methods, warnings (!) and outcomes. Lively illustrations let you see what's in store. And for those of you who still might feel a little guilty about all of this mayhem, the book includes some handy scientific 'excuses'. The child screeching across the room propelled by a fire extinguisher is, after all, demonstrating Newton's Third Law of Motion. That bit of potato launched from a tube and ricocheting around the kitchen - simple: Boyle's Law!
