Fun, short, informative lessons on science. It even teaches formulas in very easy to understand ways. I wish I had this book as a kid. Recommended for ages 12+.

Great for kids! A little advanced for my first graders but was still able to use it with them.

I read this with my daughter as part of her 6th grade curriculum. A good overview of different aspects of science. We will keep it as a reference book.

All about science. I have knew every thing in the book since I studied at school. But I purchased the book because I wanted to learn new vocabulary about science in English. What did I discover? I new most of the science vocabulary because the science’s words are translated in our schools’ book as the same pronunciation😌. For that I refreshed my memory just from this book.

In general, It is amazing book, there are a lot of graphics which explain theories and experiments. Also, It written in a simple way for age between 8-12.

What a great book! Love the illustrations, like how MUCH content is covered (although because of this, it does chop and change a lot). It's like high-school science, but fun

My son loved this book when he was in K-2 (he read way above grade level). A great book for kids who prefer to read about “stuff” instead of stories.
