This review is from: Nature Science (Paperback)

Correct me if I'm wrong but this book looks like the revised version of the book "Backyard Science," which was published in 2005. "Backyard Science" is listed as a rare book and appears to be out of print, but this book is affordable and readily available.

A great book for outdoor educators who work with young children (K-3). Clear instructions and lots of pictures make it easy for anyone to use. Good information and fun experiments! I recommend this book.
