      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.
