Air

School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-- Attractive and inviting titles that take an arts-and-crafts approach to science. Devonshire looks at such principles as the weight and pressure of Air, its movement and wind measurement, and suggests activities that illustrate these concepts. Projects include bubble paints , paper spirals , wind socks, and weather vanes. In Color , directions are provided for making color spinners and other projects that explain the characteristics of watercolors, acrylics, and oil paint, and the effect of color on feelings. Making a leaf collage and homemade dyes provide opportunities to learn about colors in nature. Each title includes a list of equipment and materials needed. --Eunice Weech, M. L.
