Description

Raymond E. Barrett's Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory is a classic book that took on an audacious task: to show young readers in the 1960s how to build a complete working science lab for chemistry, biology, and physics--and how to perform experiments with those tools. The experiments in this book are fearless and bold by today's standards--any number of the experiments might never be mentioned in a modern book for young readers! Yet, many from previous generations fondly remember how we as a society used to embrace scientific learning. This new version of Barrett's book has been updated for today's world with annotations and updates from Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, including extensive notes about modern safety practices, suggestions on where to find the parts you need, and tips for building upon Barrett's ideas with modern technology. With this book, you'll be ready to take on your own scientific explorations at school, work, or home. Read more

  • Great For Expanding Home Chem Lab
I homeschool my 7th grader and we are tackling chemistry this year. This is a great resource to help us fill out our chemistry set without spending a fortune. I love that you don't have to be limited to store-bought stets, but can expand on your own. I initially borrowed this book from our library and loved it so much I purchased it for our home library. ... show more

  • Nice lab, but for 1950.
Not a bad book, but the things in it are dated. It's like you are building a science laboratory from the 1950s. Now this isn't necessarily wrong as many things haven't really changes since then in regards to the kinds of experiments you might perform in such a lab, but that detail is not really mentioned in the book description. ... show more

Wow, does this look like fun. I love that they've updated it to provide safety information more relevant for today, but didn't leave stuff out because it might be dangerous. Into each life a little danger must fall. Wear goggles...

  • For the lab novice
Got my hopes up with this book thinking it'd be more advanced level diy lab equipment. Great buy if you have small children that enjoy science not a great buy if you're a university chemistry major looking for home lab equipment.
