From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. The Primary Physical Science series presents simple ideas that lend themselves to experimentation and reflection by young children. In
Touch It!,
large-scale digital illustrations show children, animals, and adults commenting on and exploring the properties of matter. Some sections discuss ideas such as mass, buoyancy, or magnetism, while others suggest informal activities, for example describing different foods. Five double-page spreads present very simple science projects, beginning with a question-and-answer section followed by a short list of materials, a few steps to follow, and a brief concluding paragraph. The last spread includes more information and ideas for parents and teachers who would like to extend the experience. This colorful beginning science series is suitable for primary-grade students in groups and even younger children one-on-one.
