Among the earth's elements, water is one of the most plentiful. Without water life could not exist. Water covers the vast majority of the surface of the globe. Yet, less than 1% of the water on earth is fresh. In this "hands on" book kids are introduced to the major scientific themes that relate to water. Factors such as currents, pressure, boiling points and the effects of freezing on water are all introduced. Colorful illustrations and keynote examples support each discussion. The heart of the book lies in the easy-to-conduct experiments that are presented in a step-by-step illustrated format. Young scientists will be able to create a whirlpool, develop a pumping system or create a simulated diver. This experiential approach to teaching elementary scientific concepts related to water will provide a fun-filled learning opportunity for children and adults. Part of the "Science Experiments" series. 2001, Benchmark Books, $33.75. Ages 8 to 11. Reviewer: Greg M. RomaneckBook Details
