(4) K-3 My Science Investigations series. Published fall 2011. After a too-brief introduction to the underlying science and a description of scientific method, readers are guided through a series of basic experiments (testing metal and nonmetals for magnetic attraction; plant growth conditions). Proper procedure is emphasized throughout, and readers are encouraged to ask their own research questions. Color photographs show children engaged in the activities. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. -Danielle J. Ford The Horn Book Guide Fall 2012 issue-- The Horn Book Guide Geared to teach the scientific method to younger students, this series relies on experiments and large photographs. Because the section How Scientists Work has identical text in each book with different illustrations, it reinforces the scientific method for readers. Each title presents several experiments using common household products and items with the science explained, followed by Your Turn. The omission of safety guidelines is a drawback. Words found in the glossary are bolded within the text, but the glossary does not include a pronunciation guide. The books are easy to read, and support STEM education. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index. Terry Young, School Librarian, West Jefferson High School, Harvey, Louisiana Library Media Connection March/April 2012Recommended-- Library Media Connection
