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
