The ideas weren't any better than what you typically find in science books as "end of the chapter" labs. They're very basic and don't do a good job of explaining the science in depth enough to handle questions kids may have properly. If you just want ideas, go for it, but its not really worth the price.

As a teacher of three children at home and a former middle school teacher I bought this book. It has been a great addition to our learning. It is a series of hands on activities that are simple, cheap and use a sandwhich bag. The one problem with this book was that it does not have enough ideas. It is very thin. The other problem and directly related to the first is that there might only be one experiment for the rock cycle, one experiment for human body etc. It would be nice to see more lessons. If I had to pick two, I'd pick the other two in the series- soda bottle science and coffee can science. Well worth the money. Enjoy.
