Get ready to blast off on an exciting hands-on space adventure Now kids can take a tour of the cosmos without ever leaving their own backyards.

Filled with exciting projects and observing activities, this action-packed guide gives kids a chance to investigate the outer reaches of the universe while they have a great time building their own rockets, creating pepper planets, demonstrating the greenhouse effect, and much, much more. All the activities can be done with materials that are safe, inexpensive, and easily found around the house. Marc McCutcheon (South Portland, ME) is a journalist, author, and amateur scientist.
