This was a good introductory textbook for lower level kids. I didn't do most of the experiments from the lab book however. I'll just review both here. The lab book is full of draw/write this as you crash marbles into one another. Way too much drawing or writing. OR it requires items I couldn't easily find around my house. I much prefer many other physics-type experiments/demonstrations I've seen in other books. However, I've homeschooled long enough that unfortunately, I now understand that as much as I like the IDEA of discovery and experimentation, it drives me wild to organize the materials and take the time to do them; especially if it was a lot of work for little result or wrong result. So this is an fine text for little kids, but I was given it for free. I don't think I'd pay much for it!!
