Rezensionen

Grade 2-3?Covering about 75 topics and including nearly as many demonstrations, this primer will help young readers gain a basic understanding of what science is and how it works. Ordered alphabetically, the articles range in length from three sentences to four pages; each introduces a concept (color, floating), gadget (calculator, television), or field (physics) with a header definition in large type and a combination of illustrations and full-color photos with explanatory captions. Some of the entries include instructions for simple science activities. Every article finishes with a box of see-also references. As topics range from "Day and Night" to "Microwaves," both the level of detail and the number of words likely to be unfamiliar vary drastically, but special terms are defined in context, and the pages are invitingly uncluttered. Potential hazards are flagged, and any boiling or cutting is left in the directions to adult helpers. Though the arrangement is arbitrary and the choice of topics unsystematic, novice researchers will find this helpful for quick reference, and as a supplementary source of ideas for primary-level science projects.?John Peters, New York Public Library
