Reviews
Grade 2-4-These volumes provide basic information about their respective subjects in attractive formats with colorful arrays of photographs. Chapters consist of two-page spreads with bold headers, a few paragraphs of text, and either a puzzle or an activity. The more thorough of the two is Magnets, which briefly introduces such topics as the different types of magnets, magnetic poles and properties, electromagnets, and magnetic animals and medicine. Dann touches on a number of subjects, but gives no more than a few sentences about any one. She mentions energy and the energy chain, turning energy into electricity, wind, water, and solar power. Activities in the books include making a compass and creating static electricity by rubbing a balloon against hair. These titles work as general introductions but offer little material for reports. Neil Ardley's The Science Book of Magnets and The Science Book of Electricity (both Harcourt, 1991) are better sources for project and experiment ideas.
