Reviews

Grade 4–7—Sullivan covers a lot of ground in these volumes—including velocity, reaction speed, and supersonic flight (Speed) and gravity, buoyancy, and weighing atoms (Weight)—yet no one topic is explored in much depth. Examples using familiar objects and excellent full-color graphics help to bring concepts to life. Historical discoveries and measurement systems through the ages and around the world are emphasized and linked to present-day American methods. Several at-home experiments are included. While potentially confusing as stand-alone reading, these titles may be useful as supplements to existing science curricula.—Amanda Moss, Maywood Elementary School, Monona, WI
