(4) 4-6 Last-Minute Science Projects series. Typical science activities are sorted by the amount of time they take to complete--all under an hour, for readers desperate to meet their homework deadlines. Step-by-step directions, diagrams, and full explanations of the results undermine the learning potential, although each experiment is accompanied by good but easy-to-bypass suggestions to "keep exploring." Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
