This review is from: Bubble-ology (Paperback)

This is a great activity book for teaching about scientific investigation. It is easy to make the bubble solutions and the instructions are very clear. It can get a bit messy so I found it easier to do in a school setting than at home. But if you have a good-sized table on an easy-to-clean floor, go for it. All of the science activity books that were originally published at the U of CA at Berkley are great. They have ones for all grade levels from pre-k to high school.
