Customer Reviews

Simple & safe, scientifically sound, OUTSTANDING!

Simply fabulous, Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials provides a generous number of experiments meant to involve children in easy science activities. Although the book does not include the questions needed in the inquiry-approach, all other aspects of the book are tremendous. Experiments are simple and safe, scientific explanations in normal language are provided, materials are readily available, and the experiments excite children to learn more each time.
