Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3-6-A lively overview of magnetism and electricity and how they are connected. Each double-page spread includes a paragraph or two of information, along with at least one activity to illustrate the concept introduced. Bright, clear photographs and illustrations serve as good supplements to the text. Glover gives ample warnings for potentially dangerous experiments. While the information and projects are similar to those found in Neil Ardley's The Science Book of Electricity and The Science Book of Magnets (both Harcourt, 1991), and Sandra Markle's Power Up (Atheneum, 1989), the linking of the scientific principles makes this title a distinctive and interesting addition to libraries.-Janet K. Hamilton, Museum of Science, Boston

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good First Introduction,
By
This review is from: Batteries, Bulbs, and Wires (Young Discoverers: Science Facts and Experiments) (Paperback)
This book is a great first introduction to batteries, electricity and magnets. My son is crazy about batteries and we enjoyed doing the projects in this book, such as building a simple circuit to make a light bulb light up. We found most of the necessary items at Hobbytown USA. There are also fun activities with magnets including making a floating compass. Next we are moving on to the Klutz book.Battery Science: Make Widgets That Work and Gadgets That Go My son is 5 but is doing first grade science and math.
5.0 out of 5 stars
great little book for budding scientists,
