5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource book for preschool teachers December 4, 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Like all of Mary Ann Kohl's books, this one is easily readable, with 1 activity listed per page, including pictures of the activity. It provides a reminder that science doesn't only happen at the science table! I often make my student interns choose an activity from this book (or MathArts)as the activities are open ended, process-oriented, and explained step by step. A great resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful way to integrate science and art! January 12, 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
What a wonderful and unique approach to science education! This book is jammed full of one-page "art experiments." The key is to use art projects to learn some science principles. Among many of the ideas to learn are dissolving, symmetry, reflecting light, gravity and friction. The only drawback is that the book could benefit from an introduction on the inquiry-based approach to learning...From The Science Spiders(TM) Newsletter.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never realized how beautiful science can be. June 8, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I had never really thought how beautiful and mysterious and colorful and delightful science could be. This book inspires me, a person who has never really liked science all that much. Now I do! And I will pass that on to my kids when we do the Chromatography Art Experiment and separate colors on absorbant paper. Can't wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for introducing science to kids December 21, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book contains over 100 craft-oriented projects that can be used to teach science. The crafts are oriented around science themes including diffusion, surface tension, gravity, and friction. Some of the things that make me really like the book are:
- A suggested age level is listed for each project
- The authors list all the necessary materials and give clear steps for doing the project
- They give variations to each project
- They give an explanation of what is being learned in the project
- The art techniques used are identified at the top of the page whether or not the child will need help
- The level of preparation necessary for each project is given

This is a very well thought out book and the projects are interesting. I love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginning teachers or homeschoolers October 1, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book offers many science/art projects, but without real science or art depth. These projects would be good for an introduction to science/art, but you would need to do your homework to really make the lessons meaningful.

4.0 out of 5 stars arts and science April 3, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a wonderful way to teach scientific concepts to early childhood and elementary age students. The activities/ "experiments" are easy and inexpensive, but clearly convey the concept being taught. Highly recommended.
