From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-- A hands-on science book that contains over 40 age-appropriate experiments and activities, all of which explore and explain sound. Most of the necessary equipment is easily obtained (scissors, keys, pop bottles, paper) and safe to use. Directions specify that an adult should be called when using a hammer or other tools. Interesting facts about animal and natural noises are included in short, easy-to-read paragraphs. Black-and-white cartoons and line drawings are attractive and informative. More comprehensive than Ardley's The Science Book of Sound (HBJ, 1991) and Sound and Music (Watts, 1984), this book provides Sound Science for group or individual experiments as well as for science fair projects.
