Quantum Physics for Curious Kids: Learning about matter, energy and the quantum world Paperback – July 17, 2023

Move over kids... this book is for your parents as well!

The author has found a way to explain extremely challenging concepts in a simple and straightforward way. A great introduction to the bizarre world of quantum mechanics for kids of all ages.

Highlight of this book is the ability to explore the theories behind quantum physics in everyday language and in bite-sized chunks. Colour, examples, and fundamental diagrams are included, which help the learning process. Reading level seems middle-school, but I would call this 'all ages'; adults would benefit from the discussion of concepts. This may be a challenge for younger kids to tackle on their own, and they would likely have to have a previous interest in the topic. Some more engagement and fun could be a help to hook those who are on the fence about physics. Great way to tackle an otherwise challenging topic!

Quantum Physics for Curious Kids is a pure delight—not just for children, but for adults as well. It takes a notoriously challenging subject and makes it both easier to grasp and genuinely interesting. I originally picked up this book expecting a fun way to introduce children to quantum mechanics, but I never anticipated how much I would personally enjoy and learn from it.The author does a fantastic job of simplifying mind-bending concepts like superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality, breaking them down into clear, easy-to-understand explanations. The vibrant illustrations, relatable analogies, and thought-provoking questions turn it into an interactive experience rather than just another science book. While it’s designed for kids, I found myself just as captivated—often pausing to fully absorb the explanations before continuing.One of the book’s greatest strengths is how it sparks curiosity rather than just presenting facts. It encourages readers of all ages to ask questions, think critically, and embrace the strange and fascinating nature of quantum physics. Science can sometimes feel intimidating, but this book proves that even the most complex topics can be made fun and accessible.I highly recommend Quantum Physics for Curious Kids to parents, educators, and anyone who loves science but has hesitated to dive into quantum mechanics. Whether you're 8 or 80, this book is a fantastic reminder that learning is a lifelong adventure!

Great book. Simplified for kids. The author does a great job of explaining this very difficult concept in simple terms. Great for a present to any teen.

Currently teaching Science in an international school and I can say that Aidan Bettridge’s Quantum Physics for Curious Kids! is a fun and accessible introduction to the strange world of quantum mechanics! It breaks down complex ideas like atoms, energy, wave-particle duality, and quantum entanglement in a way that young readers can grasp. With engaging analogies, playful explanations, and a conversational tone, the book makes abstract scientific concepts feel approachable and exciting. Rather than overwhelming readers with jargon, it sparks curiosity and encourages exploration, making it a fantastic read for kids (and even adults) eager to understand the mysteries of the quantum world.

This book is an excellent resource for kids to explore a complex science topic, like quantum physics, in a clear and accessible way. The author presents the material in a manner that makes it easy to understand. I’m considering incorporating this as a reading assignment for my homeschooled son.

I though this book would be fun for my kids. However, the book is very confusing in how it's made and presented. I don't know if it was supposed to be like this, bit half the book is the correct way and the other half is upside down and backwards. I have no idea how I'm supposed to show and read this to my kids. Very disappointed.
