Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
Elementary students and their teacher engage in discovery about properties of matter. This idealistic story of science lessons, accompanied by jolly cartoon illustrations, is followed by directions for the activities described (more suitable for school but doable at home with the proper materials). The material sometimes strays into more complex concepts without enough accompanying explanation.
