Review by Horn Book Review

Common do-at-home science experiments (arranged into arbitrary categories such as "people and other animals," "machines," and "reactions") are presented overeagerly, but they successfully demonstrate basic scientific principles. Energetic layouts of the step-by-step directions; color photographs of the setups and kids engaging in the activities; and helpful information such as estimates of time and troubleshooting crowd the pages.
