This is a how-to book for 3-5th graders. Prepares Elementary students to be aspiring scientist and encourages students to construct ideas about science through their interactions with their peers while providing a learning fun environment. I believe kids learn best by hands on activities and this is a way to start with simple experiments "tricks" found in this book.
