It's often said that music can soothe the soul. Budding young scientists may wonder how the sounds that make up their favorite music work. This exciting title has the answers! It not only explains key ideas involving sound waves including wavelength and frequency, but it also features activities that allow students to experience what they are learning! First students are instructed to think like scientists using the scientific method. Then they must gather the materials needed for each experiment, which mainly consist of household items such as a pencil and pen, a rubber band, a bucket, and a ruler. Helpful illustrations and age-appropriate instructions then guide readers through each step in the experiment and in learning important STEM concepts. A further information section and a glossary also make this title a valuable addition to any aspiring scientist's curriculum!

      Gr 4-8-A STEM series that combines topics with activities. A table of contents shows each section is about two pages long. Color blocked pages with text that corresponds with depictions relevant topic. "Think about Scientist" sections show how information should be combined with experiments to understand a subject more deeply. Each title includes approximately a dozen projects, with detailed instructions and which STEM concepts are being used, including refraction lenses, and light waves in the "Fishbowl Lens" experiment. Each experiment has questions at the beginning, what materials are needed, tips, the science behind the experiment, and points of caution if applicable. Although some realistic photographs of the experiments and projects would have been helpful, the illustrations make the information and activity non-intimidating. Back matter includes a glossary, further resources, and index. VERDICT A supplemental STEM series that combines topic information with a hands-on experiment.
