11 Experiments That Failed

How to see the world as a scientist.

It's cute. It kind of depicts some "experiments" that this girl is performing. It does a good job detailing the question, the hypothesis, the necessary ingredients, and the steps that she followed, as well as the results. They're all very weird experiments. There's not a lot of detail like you would have in a real scientific report.

It seems like it's a parent writing down things that the child did in the style of experiments. It's kind of formalizing the experimental method that children go through in their innate curiosity. It's funny. I don't know if children would like it as much as adults, but it might give them an introduction to the scientific method. I like the artistic mixture of photographs and illustration. It's a very modern style, and easily understandable.

Science is fun. Everyday things can be science.
