This is a educational book designed to help young readers to conduct scientific experiments. There are black and white illustrations of the experiments, as well as explanations of how they work. This book was originally published in 1960 in 4 volumes, as "Beginning Science with Mr. Wizard", covering the topics; Water, Heat, Light, and Flying. Later in 1968, these were combined into a single book, "Mr. Wizard's 400 Easy Experiments in Science", along with additional content and new illustrations. This 1968 version was reprinted several times afterward, but without additional information about when the later versions were released. The illustrator of the original four books was Mel Hunter, while the illustrator of the 1968 version is uncreated. The experiments are designed to be simple, such as looking into the bowl of a spoon, rubbing the teeth of a comb, blowing air around a bottle, others involve more complex things like nailing boards together, and building simple electronics.
