From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- Three books that do a good job of introducing students to the scientific process. A concept is introduced with a problem, procedures, and result. An explanation of the results, further explorations, science-fair experiments based on the conclusions, and a topic for further research are included. The experiments are easy without being simplistic; the materials are not elaborate (straws, marbles, scissors); the directions are clear; and the procedures are safe. With black-and-white cartoon illustrations throughout, these would be useful in classrooms as well as school or public libraries.
