Review

Gr 2-4 -Straightforward text and hands-on activities encourage youngscientists to consider the importance of electricity, temperature,light, and sound in these slim volumes. The books all contain fourchapters, each of which is followed by a relevant experiment (building a robot, testing whether different objects are light sources) thatsupports the preceding material. Featuring straightforward instructions, the projects will challenge kids without overwhelming them. Sidebarssuch as "See the Science," "Is It a Fair Test?" and "Real World Science" actively engage the reader's critical thinking skills while emphasizing the significance of the scientific process and the power ofobservation. Uncluttered, the layout is clean and visually appealing,allowing readers to concentrate on the information without beingdistracted by unnecessary text and images. VERDICT Solid additions. -School Library Journal
