Reviews

Library Media Connection

“Also helpful is the list of safety rules for these simple experiments using readily available household objects. Lots of colorful photos with helpful captions, as well as the easy-to-read large typeface, make following the directions straightforward and, therefore, the performance of successful experiments more likely.”
