Good, but there is better out there. These projects seem to be minimal, which is good if that is what you are looking for. I would be embarrassed to use these as a "science project" for a grade, personally. The purpose of the projects seem VERY basic (example: "To demonstrate that matter takes up space."). Personally, I'd rather spend my money on a book that has more "meat".
Good book, good content, great help! We bought this book to use as an alternative to TV-filled weekends. So far, so good! The projects are well written and easy to follow. This is just one reason she is a very popular children's science author. The book is well written and contains interesting, age-appropriate topics for students to explore. We spent the first few days trying to narrow our choices to just a few to explore first!
