Gr 3-7–Hands-on, engaging, and real-world fun! This book is for kids who are interested in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) or love working with their hands. With over 80 experiments ranging from food science to creating slime to making observations about the outdoors, there are a myriad of activities to pique every kid’s interest. This volume is also packed with information beyond the experiments’ instructions. Core Concepts are introduced at the beginning of the book, and they address the basic science skills that the young scientists will encounter during their hands-on learning. Also, parents will appreciate the level of difficulty, mess-o-meter, and time associated with each project included at the beginning of the section. The authors provide various tools, such as a glossary and STEAM index, as parts of a thorough guide for adults assisting kids with these fun experiments in a stress-free way.
VERDICT This comprehensive collection of STEAM experiments gives kids a real sense of how science is incorporated into their everyday lives. A strong choice.
