(4) K-3 Everyday Science series. Except for a few oversimplifications, the short sentences in the books in this series effectively reveal scientific principles by questions, differentiation exercises, and a few very simple experiments. For example, readers are asked to collect different everyday materials and record whether they can be stretched, twisted, bent, or squashed. Color photos of children illustrate each point, and introductions and answers support each book. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Everyday Science titles: Changing Forms, Electricity, Floating and Sinking, Light and Dark, Magnets, Materials, Pushing and Pulling, and Sound.]
