Each page of this exploration of science through art features a recipe-style science activity, complete with simple instructions and illustrations, that teaches young readers a scientific concept. All Ages.

What a wonderful and unique approach to science education! This book is jammed full of one-page "art experiments." The key is to use art projects to learn some science principles. Among many of the ideas to learn are dissolving, symmetry, reflecting light, gravity and friction. The only drawback is that the book could benefit from an introduction on the inquiry-based approach to learning...From The Science Spiders(TM) Newsletter.

Like all of Mary Ann Kohl's books, this one is easily readable, with 1 activity listed per page, including pictures of the activity. It provides a reminder that science doesn't only happen at the science table! A great resource.

This book contains over 100 process art projects that can be used to teach science. The activities are oriented around science themes including diffusion, surface tension, gravity, and friction. Some of the things that make me really like the book are:
- A suggested age level is listed for each project
- The authors list all the necessary materials and give clear steps for doing the project
- They give variations to each project
- They give an explanation of what is being learned in the project
- The art techniques used are identified at the top of the page whether or not the child will need help
- The level of preparation necessary for each project is given

This is a very well thought out book and the projects are interesting. ( )
