Are you sure the Tattered Cover knows who you are and what you do?
You should shoot off a few Mentos geysers and then yell, “Tah-Dah!”
Shoot smoke rings – that should get everyone’s attention.
If you’re supposed to be quiet in a book store, they’re in for a huge surprise.
Let me just say that while I appreciate all of your comments, you’re scaring the thunder out of the nice people at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch. I’ve had to assure them that nothing bad will happen, even though I am going to bring out a big crate of science demos and hands-on activities for the big book signing. In fact,
I received a message from a homeschool Mom who wanted to put our new book, Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes, to the ultimate test… give it to her kids! Lori’s three children are enrolled in Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA), an online public charter school, and she’s always looking for additional support materials for her curriculum.

At the early stages of writing this book, we had to put our heads together and try to think of a way to make this book different from the thousands of science experiment books out there. It’s true… just saying the words science experiment book will spawn a contagious outbreak of uncontrollable yawns followed by hours of sleep. So, how was I going to inspire my team to help me create a book that was different? Take a look…
We started by building a list of the most popular science experiments that I’ve had the opportunity to present over the years – in the classroom, on television and on our website. The next step was to use amazing photography to capture the wow-factor of each activity. It’s no different that thumbing through the pages of a
