This is a good book for a teacher to have available in her classroom. With almost 60 simple and fun activities, students can begin to understand the basic concepts of things such as friction and static electricity. The items needed for most of the experiments are household products that are inexpensive to purchase. A few of the projects are a little weak; it seems like the authors took a basic experiment and tried to tie a science theme into it. Overall, the book has some cool activities that would be quick and easy to do with young children. The pictures are fun to look at too. This is a book I’ll probably have in my future classroom. ( )
