From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-These titles are characterized by a spacious format; color photographs of attractive, enthusiastic children; and bright, clearly labeled procedures for basic experiments. Backyard Science treats insects and birds, soil science, water purification, sun and shadows, and more. Kitchen Science includes observations of mold growth, creating emulsions and colloids, bubble experiments, and fizzy projects using baking soda and vinegar. Safety warnings are indicated in triangular icons. Colored boxes explain exactly what is happening scientifically. The superior design and clever texts, which use humor, instruction, and questioning to convey information, make these volumes new and fresh.
