A super collection of easy biology experiments to conduct at home
with plants, animals, and the human body. For each, the author
gives the purpose, materials needed, step-by-step directions,
results, and a concluding paragraph headed "Why?" Clear, helpful
illustrations of racially varied boys and girls appear on each
page. Specialized terms like "auxin," "hilum" and "cones" are
italicized in the text, then briefly explained in the glossary.
Experiments are simple, safe, and make use of readily available
household items. Living things are handled with care: e.g,
earthworm experiments explore whether worms can smell with either
end or respond to different colored lights. A worthwhile purchase.
