Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grades 2-4--Written in simple language and sentences, these slim titles offer straightforward explanations of how things work. Starting with the basics, the material gradually builds upon readers' growing understanding of the concepts presented. The experiments suggested can be performed with little assistance and with materials found in the home. Clear, distinct, color photos of children demonstrating the activities on each page help reinforce the concepts, as do the many drawings and diagrams. Children will find these accessible titles informative, and may see their world in a different light after reading them. The narrow focus of each title may serve a purpose for classroom units.

Whole series is worthwhile,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inclined Planes and Wedges (Early Bird Physics) (Paperback)
I am using this for 3rd grade physics intro, and the books are just perfect: the experiments are very easy and take no special equipment, the photos of kids DOing the activities are alluring to the 8 year old mind, the terms are simply but well-defined, each book has a glossary, and each book refers to concepts from the other books, so that by the end of them, it has really sunk in. I have 2 left to go, and we haven't hit a dud yet. I enjoy kiddo piping up at examples in every day life (e.g. using a nutcracker he exclaimed "A second class lever".)
