From School Library Journal:
Gr 1-3-Vibrant photos and straightforward language are the backbone of this series that introduces young readers to scientific experimentation. Using everyday objects, each activity takes readers through three to five steps in simple, clear sentences. While the experiments are relatively easy, students are advised to seek help from adults as a safety precaution. Pleasant graphics and images do not overwhelm the text, allowing readers to focus on the words, and sidebars define important vocabulary. Where this series suffers, however, is in its layout. Discussion of the science doesn't follow each experiment; instead, readers are forced to turn to a "Why It Works" page at the back of the book. These explanations are brief (only one to two sentences) and provide just the barest of information. VERDICT A serviceable option for beginning scientists, though lacking in some ways.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
