Reader reviews for Bet You Can!: Science Possibilities to Fool You, 62 Tricks

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.85 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.85 / 5 (165 total reviews)

Reviewers describe a lively collection of bet-based, hands-on science stunts that challenge intuition and then explain the physics, physiology, and perception behind them. The activities use household materials, work well for families and classrooms, and spark curiosity. Some readers note inconsistent results, occasionally weak visuals or instructions, a weaker final section of mind games, and a reading level that can feel too simple for older kids yet text-heavy for the youngest.

Readers say this book is:
