Good basic information

[Monica Shankle]

Cute book and a great way to teach kids how to go about figuring out what to do for the science fair.

[Tricia]

More work-related reading. I feel the same about this one as the food chains one. That is: it glosses over a few things and could lead to alternative conceptions. It might be okay as one of many resources in a classroom, especially since Max Axiom is an African-American scientist, but it shouldn't be the primary resource for this topic.
