Grade 4-6–These introductory texts read like programmed instruction manuals. Two pages introduce a concept through a simple activity/experiment and questions. The following spread answers the questions and explains the principles behind the experiment. The writing is clear but dry. Uninspiring suggestions for science-fair projects are given at the conclusion of each topic. Some of them make huge leaps in skill and knowledge levels. Topics in the first title include frequency or pitch, how sound travels through air and solids, and making tunes with glasses of water. The second title discusses electric charges at rest, building circuits, the relationship between electricity and magnetism, etc. Most of the cartoonish color drawings are clear, but they have inaccuracies, such as a flute being held like a tin whistle in
Jazzy.
