Good reference for Water, Air, Movement & Light

This book contains not just experiments but valuable reference material and applications of science. Four subjects - Water, Air, Movement and Light - are covered in detail. For example, the two pages on "Disappearing Water" include three experiments, an explanation of how sweat cools the body, an illustration of how evaporation is used to preserve fruits and vegetables, and simple but thorough explanations of evaporation and water vapor. This book is perfect for assigning individual projects and supplements your other science reference materials...from The Science Spiders(TM) Newsletter.
