Title: good simple experiments
Review: This book is 250 pages of simple experiments, just right for my 8yo independent reader to do almost completely on her own. The directions are clear, mostly. There are several experiments that require an adult (using candles, for example), but they are clearly labeled as needing assistance. This book has kept my daughter busy for quite a while, just reading through them and doing several experiments without my help. My only gripes are that the book is published on coloring book paper, with cheap coloring book style illustrations which do not accurately show what should happen. A child who cannot read well would have difficulty figuring these out. Also since it was published 24 years ago (as of 2010), the paper is disintegrating. The pages are well-bound for a coloring book, but they are high-acid paper that browns and tears easily.
Is the review positive or negative?
