Gr 3-6-A collection of experiments that demonstrate standard observations in both the physical and life sciences. The 325 activities include making a potato battery, collecting and pressing leaves, and exploring magnetic fields. Each project is outlined on a single page and illustrated with a clear, but static, black-and-white drawing that appears to be computer generated. A final sentence or paragraph explains why a particular reaction or observation occurs. Although sharp objects, heat, and chemicals are used, precautions are not indicated except for a brief mention in the introduction of "appropriate adult supervision." Many of the activities are clever and some are original, such as making tissue paper dolls dance under a glass rubbed with a woolen cloth. The experiments have been selected from three books originally published in Germany. Some lapses in editing have one experiment referring to another not included in this compilation. A matter-of-fact, rather dry compendium.-Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
