Science Experiments, a book packed with fun and exciting experiments young people can do at home, has won the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2012

The book is by Robert Winston and Ian Graham and published by Dorling Kindersley. It was chosen from a shortlist of six by over 1000 young people from 120 schools and youth groups around the UK.

The 1st Strathpeffer Brownies said: 'This book was inspirational - the best science book we've seen. It is eye catching, filled with great pictures and vivid colours. This book caused a storm at our meeting - loads of excited chatter, interesting facts and a real eagerness to get experimenting.'
