Explorabook: A Kids' Science Museum in a Book

Publisher: Klutz
Review last updated: 2009		 Instant KeyPublishers InfoPricing

Explorabook

This most unusual book comes complete with a large magnet, Fresnel lens, agar gel, diffraction grating, mirror, and moiré spinner. Activities using these materials can be enjoyed by all ages. Young children will find the effects fascinating, while older children will begin to understand the principles causing the effects. Aside from the bacterial studies using the agar gel, most activities have to do with physics. Instructions are written so that most children from about fourth grade and up can work independently. Explanations are provided along with examples of practical applications of the principles in real life. Intriguing, colorful illustrations along with cartoon characters aid understanding. Explorabook is not your typical experiment book but a fun-filled "package."
