If you want to take your child on an in-depth investigation of physical changes, this guide and the nine concepts it explores is just the ticket. Each chapter deals with a different concept (evaporating, condensing, crystallizing...) and begins with a dialog that a learner and his/her mentor might here related to the topic. The chapter then offers some follow up experiments, questions, and explanations. It's neither glitzy nor geared for science fair projects. What it is, is good science presented in such a way as to elicit quality learning and thinking,
