What makes this edition of We Dare You different? Throughout the book there are QR codes that will instantly connect kids to highly entertaining videos on all devices, showcasing various experiments throughout the book, and directed by author Vicki Cobb.

Readers can now do science and show business together--an unbeatable combination Behind it all is solid science. Principles of gravity, mechanics, fluids, logic, geometry, energy, and perception are presented in a way that shows these principles in action. And it's all written on good authority.
