(3) 4-6 Edge Books: Boredom Busters series. Swanson presents eight experiments that can be performed with household materials and varying amounts of adult supervision. Each teaches a scientific concept such as static electricity or the behavior of gases. Along with a brief introduction to the scientific method, each activity's materials list, step-by-step instructions, and large color photographs provide clarity. Overall the projects are fresh and intriguing. Reading list. Glos., ind.
