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.

Customer Reviews

good review
Its a good book if u are doing a little project at home, i'm 14 and even did a project from the book from science fair. AND THE PROJECT WORKED

Not a good choice.
I looked at this book when i was searching for a science project. I tried to do the one project on diffusion on water molecules, but it didnt work!!!! I ended up using a project from another book. I do not reccommend this book. If anyone wants to do a project that does not work, buy the book.
