Gr 3-7-- Windmills, bull roarers, kaleidoscopes, and whirring buttons on string are just a few of the 101 Science Tricks included in this volume. Many require simple household items and are quite safe to do without supervision; others employ art knives and power drills. There are pop-up cards, balsa-wood airplanes, sundials, reverse pictures, and more. Excellent traceable full-color pictures accompany each activity. Instructions for adults on safety and the scientific concepts involved are appended. --Zenata W. Pierre, Portland Public Schools, OR
