Carson, Mary Stetten. Let's play science. New York: Sterling, 2007. This experiment book has simple but cute black line illustrations that demonstrate the steps in an experiment. These experiments are usually 1-2 pages long and the test is simple enough for a child in the 1-3rd grade to do alone. It requires mainly materials found around the house or in the back yard.
