One of the best ways to learn about new things is to use all of the senses. This book offers children the opportunity to get their hands dirty and experiment with different materials. Children can learn how to write an invisible message, make their own dye, and build a bridge. Most of the experiments only require a few household items. There are detailed descriptions about how to do each experiment. This book is a must have for a teacher's science library. 2002, Crabtree Publishing Company,
