by: Donna Farland-Smith and Julie Thomas

After reading, students perform a simple experiment that is developmentally appropriate for their age group to gain experience with how science experiments are conducted. This book selection highlights the practice of planning and carrying out investigations, and it includes the Table of Contents, Foreword, Acknowledgments, About the Authors, and Index.
