The Annotated

Build-It-Yourself Science

Laboratory

Raymond E. Barrett’s

Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory

took on an audacious task: to

show readers how to build a complete working science lab (starting with a workbench) for

chemistry, biology, and physics—and how to perform experiments with those tools. The

instructions and experiments may appear fearless and bold by today’s standards, but

many from previous generations fondly remember how we as a society used to approach

scientific learning.

Updated for today’s world with annotations and sourcing notes by Windell Oskay of Evil

Mad Scientist Laboratories,

Make: The Annotated Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory

shows you how to reinvigorate scientific exploration at school, home, or work.

Make: The Annotated Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory,

you’ll make:

A carbon-arc furnace that can melt metal

Your own laboratory glassware

A cosmic ray-detecting cloud chamber

Microscopes—from 25× to 160× power

Barometers, thermometers, and hygrometers

Magnets, motors, batteries, and capacitors

A microtome, anemometer, and seismograph

A telescope, spectroscope, and nephoscope

Oxygen and hydrogen generators

A Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder

As you build your equipment, you’ll get ready for the over 1600 experiments in the book:

Isolating hydrogen, growing crystals, finding lifeforms in a drop of water, measuring

everything from mass to conductivity to metabolism rates to cosmic radiation, building an

electric motor, and tracking the moons of Jupiter!

Praise for The Annotated Build-

It-Yourself Science Laboratory

My father’s purpose in life was to see the excitement of discovery

from children experimenting. He was an innovator believing that

students learned best by independent hands-on experiences

with everyday items. It’s wonderful seeing Windell Oskay bring-

ing this book back to stimulate the next generation of children.

—Stephen Barrett

At first glance, projects in this book (such as building a carbon

arc furnace or a hydrogen generator) may seem intimidating,

even dangerous, and that is exactly the point! The science practi-

ces and skills explored through the real experiences in this publi-

cation will build the critical thinking and careful observation

skills needed to support teachers and students to develop a real

understanding of science. As relevant today as when it was first

published, this book will support curious people of all ages to en-

gage in serious fun—the starting points for falling in love with

science all over again!

—Mike Petrich, Tinkering

Studio—Exploratorium

Much, much more than a DIY Lab. It’s really a fairly full course in

experimental science.

—Forrest M. Mims III, Author

and Amateur Scientist
