Review: if you want to impress the kids, get this book! YOU can be MacGuyver too! If you home school, this would be a great book for science projects to learn from. It's also a great basis for projects for ye old science fair! The projects range from simple to more complex. personally, I LOVED the Micro Foosball Game- it was SO simple- paper clips, scotch tape,a candy ball and the box the clips came in! You can really impress the kids with that one!  This would also be a great book to keep the kids busy over the summer with too!
