Customer Reviews

Good, but there is better out there.
These projects seem to be minimal, which is good if that is what you are looking for. I would be embarrassed to use these as a "science project" for a grade, personally. The purpose of the projects seem VERY basic (example: "To demonstrate that matter takes up space."). Personally, I'd rather spend my money on a book that has more "meat".

Good book, good content, great help!
We bought this book to use as an alternative to TV-filled weekends. So far, so good! The projects are well written and easy to follow. This is just one reason she is a very popular children's science author. The book is well written and contains interesting, age-appropriate topics for students to explore. We spent the first few days trying to narrow our choices to just a few to explore first!

Great resource!
We're a homeschool family, and part of a large support group. Once monthly we teach mini-science lessons for the younger youth and I think we'll find this book to be a fabulous resource for this as well as for future science fairs. (Recommend to homeschool as well as public school families.)
