The [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-life) Experiment Elementary School Student introduces a book of DIY experiments inspired by viral experiments shared on the social media video platform.

Although there are plenty of books on [make-at-home science experiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-rober) that can be purchased for students of all ages, this one's focus on chemistry, physics and fluid mechanics emphasizes ties to popular stunts from YouTube.
