Reviews

Grade 3-5-This title contains 16 easy-to-perform experiments, each of which answers a question about sources of renewable energy. Rybolt and Mebane begin with a brief description of atoms and molecules and an explanation of why the study of the Earth is important. Each project is followed by a discussion of the various phenomena explored, as well as an "Other Things to Try" section of related activities. Adult supervision is emphasized throughout the book in capital letters. Black-and-white drawings enhance the presentation. Most of the materials required are easily available. Simple, yet thorough, this volume is excellent for teachers to use with their classes or for children to use on their own.
