A must have for the science classroom
As a physical science teacher, I consider this book to be an awesome resource in my classroom.The easy to read text combined with the colorful illustrations makes this book a "must have."Atoms and molecules have never been easier to comprehend.

Fabulous!
My 9-year old is interested in atoms and molecules, but I didn't know enough answer his second level of questions until I spent 20 minutes with this book.Interesting, clear, concise, wonderfully illustrated. ... Read more

retro fun
A fun book that has nastolgic illustrations--very cool.A silly, yet clever read.Artistic, a true craft with 19th century type-set once used for circus and Wanted posters. And hip. A great addition to your child's library.As an adult, you'll enjoy it. ... Read more

A Variety of Simple Experiments

Great fun for years to come
Every other weekend or so, I've been doing experiments with my 5.5 year old daughter and we have truly enjoyed our time together.Many of the experiments are still too advanced for her, hence there will be years of fun to go, but there are plenty simple labs for kids her age.The biggest failure experienced so far was our construction of a battery from ten pennies, ten cut out aluminum foil disks, ten paper towel disks, salty water and tape.It was supposed to make sparks, but didn't have the oomph to do so.It did generated a measurable voltage and current according to my meter.STILL, father and daughter spent time together putting this battery together, and she got to see a meter working.Like I said, this was the only "failure" I've experienced so far.
Good book for beginners, but some errors...
I had a chance to look over this book when my wife (a pre-school teacher) brought it home from work.Overall, it is well-illustrated and does an adequate job explaining the phenomenon presented in each experiment, considering the target audience.

The Perfect Size Biography
Usually, I find Biographies long and dull, but this biography of Einstein held my interest.It wasn't too long, and the details it included were quite interesting.I also enjoyed learning about his different proofs and theorms.However, I think the author assumed wrong on one of mysteries of Einstein.Jeremy Bernstein wrote out what he thought was Einstein's proof of the pythagorean theorm, since Einstein never wrote it down. I found a simple error in his mathematics.Besides this, the book is very informative.I would highly reccomend it.

A short biography
This is a short biography of Einstein. It is very easy and joyfull to read. It is not very serious biography, it does not go into details, double lined short stories, cover major stages of his life. I recommend to all who wants a brief summary but nice one. I read it in one day, you do not want to drop the book. Very nice. ... Read more

Great book of experiments
This book provide the how-to for experiments in electricity and magnetism that many teachers need.It is primarily focused to the elementary and middle school level.This book tells you how to do the experiments with easy-to-find materials and gives you the reasons behind the science.You teachers know that your students will ask, so be prepared. ...
