Gathers science activities that explore basic science topics like communication, patterns, the human body, design, and technology
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
PreSchool-Grade 3. An exuberant collection of simple science activities for adults to do with children. The introduction is long and quite involved, covering not only scientific principles but also the basics of early childhood education. A list of suggested reading includes mostly picture books. Five scientific topics are explored: patterns, matter, communication, the human body, and design and technology. Each activity is thoroughly explained and illustrated with black-and-white, line-drawn cartoons. Appropriate age levels and a helpful estimate of the amount of time required are also provided. Easy-to-follow directions are given for each project, with a paragraph leading to further thoughts and questions. Few of the experiments are unique (communication with strings and cups, milk-carton boats, etc.), but it's nice to have them available in one place. A useful purchase.?Todd Morning, Schaumburg Township Public Library, IL

cases for science detectives Science teachers and curious students looking for new projects may want to experiment with two new titles. Janice VanCleave's Guide to the Best Science Fair Projects by Janice VanCleave offers ideas for selecting a topic, doing research, making a display and presenting the project. The suggested projects span a range of categories from astronomy to genetics, geology to engineering. With Bubble Monster: And Other Science Fun, by John Falk, Robert Pruitt II, Kristi Rosenberg and Tali Katz, younger children can also learn about scientific principles. Simple materials like graham crackers (to make "Graham Cracker Castles" with peanut butter mortar) and tin cans (to make play telephones) help teach about patterns, the human body, design and technology and more. Cartoon illustrations depict the experiments.
