(4) K-3 Fascinating Science Projects series. These series books' too-busy pages describe experiments in both light (such as smashing sugar cubes in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to make light) and sound (such as using yogurt cups, clay, and a candy tube to make a seagull's sound). Most materials are easy to find, and the majority of projects are simple and will prove satisfying. Explanations are complete without being confounding. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Fascinating Science Projects titles: Light and Sound.]

These collections of activities encourage children to observe and enjoy nature through a mix of simple experiments, arts and crafts, and classic classroom science such as growing seeds and observing worms. Although the instructions are clear and are accompanied by bright color photographs and drawings, children will require adult assistance gathering the materials and ensuring that all runs smoothly.

(4) K-3 Discovering Nature series. With craft projects, simple experiments, and science activities, All Year Round studies seasonal changes in nature, while Woods and Meadows looks at plants and animals found in these habitats. The information is generally accurate, and most of the projects are kid-friendly, though some will require adult assistance. Photos, illustrations, and large type fill each page, but a consistent design orders the busyness. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Discovering Nature series. These books contain creative activities that readers can use to explore principles of weather and water environments. However, children may need prompting by a teacher or motivated adult in order to move beyond simply doing the activities and develop deeper scientific understandings. Though the design is crowded, bright color photographs and illustrations are helpful in visualizing the activities. Glos., ind.

(3) K-3 It's Science! series. Big, bright photographs and simple text characterize these introductory books on life science topics. The concepts are very basic, such as the fact that many of our foods come from plants, and that some animals have backbones while others do not. The activities designed to further the understanding of these ideas are correspondingly simple. Glos., ind.
