This book offers different hands on activities for students to do to apply their skills to science. The book gives background on the different experiments and what they mean and context behind them. The author broke the book into chapters allowing each chapter to be a different science experiment for students to do. The main idea of the book is about reactions and how those reactions react to different substances. There are step by step instructions and pictures for students to follow along with when they go about the different experiments. The teacher can take the background information on the experiment and give context to the students so they understand what is going on. I like this book because the experiments are hands on and provide a visual way for students to do experiments in science. They can use things in their daily lives in these experiments and see how they react to each other. ( )
