A great source for the naturally curious.?Todd Morning, Schaumburg Township Public Library, ILCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. A different activity (most don't really qualify as experiments) is presented on each page. First, a question is posed, then the materials needed are listed, followed by the step-by-step procedures for carrying out the activity (usually involving not more than three or four steps). From School Library Journal Grade 2-5?You can't get much simpler than this, yet the book is straightforward and effective. . A well-done, five-page glossary is included, as is the breakdown of the activities by concept. Questions
