Do you have children that love to learn while doing? Have a love of activity books and science? Well, build your own science museum combines those two loves. Learn what science is, build some exhibits and explore different fields of science. Let me tell you more about Build Your Own Science Museum.
A basic glimpse of what I’m reviewing!
Lonely Planet Kids has done it again, creating another build your own book, this one about Science! 24 pages in an oversized book, complete with activity pages and cut-outs.
The Chapters are
- what is science
- the age of science
- the information age
- flight
- planet earth
- exploring space
- electricity and forces
- the human body
- robotics
- science quiz
- future science
With these pages you’ll discover 5 pop-ups to make and display on the pages. Can you imagine making a steam engine? Sounds fun doesn’t it?
Looking closer at Build your own Science Museum
At the beginning of Build Your Own Science Museum, you will find a pocket entitled Fragile Scientific Objects. Within this pocket, you’ll find all the punchouts needed to create the various pop-ups.
But never fear! Instructions are included!
Are you as intrigued as Lizzy is about what all you and/or your child can make?
You’ll note those white lines on this page? Those are for inserting the punchouts so you build your pop-up! A good amount of informative text surrounds each pop-up.
Just as in any museum you’ll discover placards of information scattered throughout.
Not all the elements are large builds. Some are simple punch-outs to fill a single spot.
Should you pick this up?
You may recall, though honestly it’s been a while, that I reviewed Build your own History Museum as well as Build your own Dinosaur Museum. I love these books and jumped at the opportunity to review Build your own Science Museum. Just as the first two books were filled with hands-on learning, so is this third one. The reader is given the opportunity to put together 5 amazing pop-ups illustrating different aspects of science. Smaller cut-outs that illuminate smaller points.
So YES, go pick it up! I’ve given you a good insight but have purposefully NOT shown you any of the builds. You want to be able to enjoy it completely yourself, don’t you? Go pick up your copy of Build your own Science Museum today!
My girls would have loved this when they were younger!
I so love this series
