The Missing Cuckoo Clock: A Mystery About Gravity

(4) 4-6 Summer Camp Science Mysteries series. Illustrated by Der-shing Helmer. At Camp Dakota, five friends learn about basic scientific principles underlying their ordinary daily experiences--swimming, hiking, having lunch--from friendly attending counselors. Focusing on gravity, sound, astronomy or pollution, each installment begins by stating the main principle and ends with one or two simple experiments. The comic format makes the information more accessible, but overall the approach is very purposive. Glos. Review covers these Summer Camp Science Mysteries titles: The Great Space Case, The Missing Cuckoo Clock, The Whispering Lake Ghost, and The Yucky Duck Rescue.
