Many thanks to the people who have helped make this book a possibility. At the top of that long list is Page Street Publishing. They have been a source of encouragement and problem-solving throughout this process. Page Street took a huge leap of faith when signing us up for our first book, 101 Kids Activities That Are the Bestest, Funnest Ever! and have been the perfect partner for bringing our activities to print.
A big thank you to George Oosterhous and Aaron Warren for being incredible science resources. Their science students are blessed with instruction full of investigative learning. Their inspiration extends beyond the classroom walls.
We appreciate Josh Manges for illustrating this book. His ability to bring clarity to the steps that were stuck in our head was incredibly helpful!
Huge hugs go to our chief kid wrangler, Jana Stout, for her tireless work before and during photo shoots. She can also tell you where to get licorice in every color for the best price.
The kids! The kids! None of this could be possible without them. We adore them all and are so thankful that they are willing to play along during testing, re-testing and photos. Thank you to Halle, Rhett, Reid, Ryan, Noah, Jonah, Kora, Anya, Ezra, Lena, Mikayla, Jacob, Andrew, Peaches, Callie and Emma.
And last, but definitely not least, are our husbands. We appreciate the sacrifices made by Levi, Greg and Kevin. Their willingness to run out late at night on random errands, like a box of Borax or a nail with a certain metallic element, did not go unnoticed. We also promise that now the book is done, there is hope that every flat surface in the house can be cleared of science experiments.
