From School Library Journal:
Gr 7 Up-Students will find projects on physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, mechanics, astronomy, and more here. Vecchione prefaces his text with a description of the scientific method. For each experiment, he provides a list of materials needed, step-by-step instructions, caution notes where applicable, and a summary and scientific explanation of the typical result. Some of them require time to complete ("Do Dogs See in Color?" involves nine weeks, plant tropism takes two to three weeks, potato hormones three weeks). An experiment with a television screen requires a dark room and may be difficult to set up at a science fair. Directions on building a trebuchet (catapult) are useful for medieval studies. The accompanying black-and-white drawings range from helpful to merely decorative. A reliable, useful purchase.
