From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-Four authors of science books for children have contributed 150 easy-to-follow experiments about forces and motion, sound and light, electricity and magnets, and matter and materials. Each one is designed to take from 5 to twenty minutes to put together and execute (excluding the time it takes for glue to dry). Waiting for and observing the results may take longer, for example, growing crystals. Children must be able to cut accurately with scissors, and tape and glue with precision. The experiments are carefully selected to illustrate basic concepts such as weight and gravity, push and pull, and properties of matter. Colorful computer-generated illustrations and photographs accompany each observation. Safety precautions are included at the beginning of each section and reiterated when necessary. These experiments are accessible, easy to perform, and interesting.
