Customer Reviews

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.)

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!
