Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 04/01/2013 Gr 2–4—Along with offering outstandingly clear explanations of how common scientific instruments work, these introductions supply exciting suggestions for hands-on projects and experiments, from comparing the densities of difference kinds of foods in the kitchen to keeping a temperature log. Various scales of measurement and useful terms such as "meniscus" are carefully defined, and features such as instructions for preparing slides in Microscope and spreads defining the systematic techniques of the Scientific Method and the work of scientists add value to the set as a whole. Diagrams clarify and complement the text while the color photos of target-age children (sporting safety goggles where appropriate) enthusiastically enjoying science provide further incentive to observe physics, chemistry, and biology in action. - Copyright 2013 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
