After posing a question ("Why do I have spit?" "What can a magnet pick up?"), each double-page spread presents a simple experiment to answer it, followed by a brief explanation of what happened. Materials and instructions are clear, and explanations are easy to understand (if occasionally partial). The cartoon illustrations and some diagrams help clarify these kid-friendly experiments. Ind. Review covers these titles: First Science Experiments: The Amazing Human Body and First Science Experiments: Magnet Power!.
