Editorial Reviews

Review

'filled with useful information..supported by a range of excellent photographs and diagrams, a comprehensive account. Useful as support for existing projects ...could also be used to start students off on new topics.' -- School Librarian, v.49, no.1, Spring 2001 'Develop the children's understanding of magnetism and electromagnetism with this accessible book for upper juniors. The appealing publication introduces Y6 pupils to otherwise complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner. Fact files, history files, test files and future files help to divide the pages into digestible portions and striking photography and illustrations are used throughout.' --Junior focus, June 2002

I bought this for our 4th grade science unit on Magnetism and Electricity. The kids like to look though it at all the pictures. . .lots of information in this large sized (but not too many pages) science book.
