Crazy Experiments is packed full of facts, humorous illustrations, terrifying fascination, experiments you can do at home and fun facts. These are the wildest of all experiments throughout history. They are loud and explosive, crackling and slimy. They are unbelievable, weird and thoughtprovoking. There are experiments with fire (how does one make fireworks or dynamite?), electricity (can ligntning be created in a laboratory?) and medicine (what happens if you let a flea live under your skin for months?).

Underneath it all is a fundamental respect and fascination for the inventiveness of humans, and how it drives the world forward. Where had we been without the experiments? Author Alexander guides the reader along the way as a kind of nutty professor who lets anything happen in his laboratory and explains which experiments can be recreated at home.
Science Madness is a living, breathing introduction to science and all the crazy stuff which drives the world forward. An original series about all the wild stuff which happens in the name of science.
