#1 HOW SCIENCE WORKSBy Judith Hann
100 Ways Parents and Kids Can Share The Secrets Of Science
Grade 4-8 ~ Ages 9-14
CONDITION Brand New ~ Gift Giving Quality Hardcover ~ 192 Pages
A visually enticing, large-format volume that aims to involve parents and children in the mutual exploration of scientific principles through hands-on experimentation. Hann begins by listing the requisite materials for investigation, the majority of which are household items. She encourages improvising when an object is not readily available. Each of the 6 sections-- matter; energy, force, and motion; light and sound; air and water; electricity and magnetism; and electronics and computers--combines a lively, understandable text with a number of activities and projects that illustrate the topic. Interspersed throughout are discovery sections that focus on individuals or events of scientific importance. The sections are logically arranged, but readers can skip around according to their own interests. The step-by-step instructions are very clear and include admonitions for adult supervision when advisable. The accompanying full-color photographic layouts are lavish and detailed, but not cluttered. They depict multiethnic boys and girls of varying ages (and occasionally adults) and clarify the steps of the experimental process in an imaginative and appealing manner. Diagrams are well designed, colorful and clearly captioned. Measurements are presented in both metric and English units. Although minor, there are a few flaws. Occasionally, an undefined scientific term is used, and definitions for abbreviations of measurement could not always be located. A cut above most how-to science books.
