Popsicle sticks, toilet paper tubes, food packaging, and plastic
bottles are great resources for school craft projects or children's
activities for a rainy day, but with a bit of knowledge and
planning, they can also be used to explain a range of scientific
concepts. . . .while a little planning is needed to get the most
from this book, it has the potential to be a useful resource for
teachers and parents alike.-- "Science magazine"
STARRED REVIEW! This hands-on guide teaches a variety of scientific
concepts using four easily obtained supplies: craft sticks, snack
packets, plastic bottles, and cardboard tubes. . . .The language is
accessible and is written in a fun, energetic tone. . . .The book
has a hip, graphic layout with an eye-catching cover; one teen
exclaimed, "That looks so cool!" upon seeing it. This is a valuable
guide for teens interested in seeing scientific concepts come to
life, and could easily be adapted for library programming.-- "VOYA"
