From School Library Journal
Gr 3-6-Projects designed for hands-on learning encourage student investigation of natural processes such as photosynthesis and sedimentation. Each of the seven featured projects in Dynamic Planet and Liquid Planet relate fairly closely to one another. All About Earth includes topics such as wind speed and gravity. None of the books require explorations to be completed in any particular order. Most projects note when adult help is needed and have clear directions accompanied by helpful photos. Whether moving graham crackers on frosting to simulate plate tectonics or observing decomposition rates of compost materials, students will find opportunities to translate explanations into action. VERDICT Good choices for project-oriented earth science learning.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
