Science Works! shows how science and scientists really work through experiments children can do themselves. Nothing is quite as instructive as hands-on experience. Each volume is impressively illustrated and, when combined with comprehensive instruction, produces a wealth of do-it-yourself science projects that will instruct and entertain. Each activity uses common, easy-to-find materials and requires average skills to complete.
