This is not your ordi­nary book of sci­ence exper­i­ments. Naked Eggs and Fly­ing Pota­toes is a geek-chic look at Steve Span­gler’s lat­est col­lec­tion of tricks and try-it-at-home activ­i­ties that reveal the secrets of sci­ence in unex­pect­ed ways. What makes this book dif­fer­ent from other sci­ence exper­i­ment books is the amaz­ing pho­tog­ra­phy. Over 200 color pho­tographs and 37 videos accom­pa­ny the step-by-step instruc­tions and sim­ple expla­na­tions to uncov­er the how-to and why for each activ­i­ty. Make pota­toes fly, corn­starch turn into quick­sand, and 2-liter bot­tles of soda explode on com­mand.

Author, celebri­ty teacher, and sci­ence guy Steve Span­gler teach­es you how to trans­form the ordi­nary into the amaz­ing as you make every­day items ooze, bub­ble, fizz, and pop! Make peo­ple won­der… How did you do that? From Fly­ing toi­let paper to trash can smoke rings, erupt­ing soda to explod­ing sand­wich bags, the exper­i­ments in Naked Eggs and Fly­ing Pota­toes will spark your imag­i­na­tion and total­ly impress your friends. Learn how to astound kids and kids-at-heart with easy and inex­pen­sive exper­i­ments like these: Bub­bling Lava Bot­tle, The Incred­i­ble Can Crush­er, Nails for Break­fast, The Fold­ing Egg, Quick­sand Goo, Scream­ing Bal­loon, and Burn­ing Money.

Steve Span­gler, cre­ator of sci­en­tif­ic edu­ca­tion­al power-house SteveSpanglerScience.com, has earned his cre­den­tials as a sci­ence author, teacher, pro­fes­sion­al speak­er, toy design­er, and Emmy award-winning tele­vi­sion per­son­al­i­ty. Whether he’s whip­ping up a cool new sci­ence exper­i­ment for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, pro­duc­ing a new YouTube video, or design­ing a hands-on sci­ence les­son for kids, Steve is always seek­ing new ways to cre­ate unfor­get­table learn­ing expe­ri­ences. It’s no won­der that thou­sands of peo­ple fol­low him on Twit­ter, join the con­ver­sa­tion on Face­book, and spend count­less hours watch­ing hun­dreds of his YouTube videos.

Steve is cur­rent­ly based in Den­ver, but trav­els exten­sive­ly, train­ing teach­ers in ways to make learn­ing more engag­ing and fun. His hands-on “boot camps” and sum­mer insti­tutes inspire and teach teach­ers how to pre­pare a new gen­er­a­tion for an ever-changing work force.
