Reviews

Gr 4-6�Four popular sports are viewed through the lens of STEAM in this informative series. The science sections in each book focus primarily on the physics of ball movement, such as �bending� the ball with the Magnus effect. Baseball�s and Basketball�s arts sections are easily the best in the set, focusing on cartooning and theatrics, respectively; the arts section in Football and Soccer, however, don�t go further than covering uniforms. In an overall great series, there�s just one small gripe: the pitcher�s stride in Baseball is not accurately described, but other than that, the whole series is stellar. VERDICT Students tasked with research projects will be grateful for this series. A solid option for upper elementary schoolers.α(c) Copyright 2011.
