A very helpful book indeed! Full of interesting experiments of physics and chemistry. I myself did some of the experiments from it. More over, the describtion given in the book , for a particular topic is logical enough to satisfy the reader. The language is simple and lucid, easy for a 7th-10th grader to understand.

This is a wonderful book, introducing the fundamental principles of science. Although the book is geared for children, the entire family could learn from this book. (P through I). Any question a child may have a bout "how things work" can be found in thi sbook and explained in a way both a child and a non scientific minded adult could understand. In today's world, children use the web to have questions answered. But his book is fun to peruse with an adult where both the parent or teacher can interact and learn together. The book is illustrated using familiar concepts to explain often difficult principles.

Great resource for accessible science fair projects. Color pictures go over better than the more typical b&w drawings and clear directions means kids will be able to do it solo.

Dig it out again during summer break and for next years science fair.

Although written for younger audiences, some of the concepts are difficult for youngsters to understand.
