(3) 4-6 Dabble Lab: Science Brain Builders series. In these introductions to engineering fields, each of six or seven chapters introduces a concept, followed by the related project(s) with explanatory paragraphs and photos illustrating the steps and materials involved. A two-page wrap-up (with photos of girls studying STEM subjects) encourages students to pursue engineering. Clear instructions and simple activities make these volumes useful additions to classrooms and makerspaces. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Dabble Lab: Science Brain Builders titles: Electrical Engineering and Robotics Engineering.

(4) YA Science Fair Success series. These collections of experiments for experienced science enthusiasts vary in focus and quality. Statistics deserves praise for its detailed instruction on data analysis, and Robot contains good explanations of engineering design. Motion, however, suffers from too many topics. Black-and-white illustrations include tables, schematics, and photos of completed projects. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Science Fair Success titles: Science Fair Success Using Newton's Laws of Motion; Using Statistics in Science Projects, Internet Enhanced, and How to Build Your Own Prize-Winning Robot.]
