Book Reviews of Detective Science: 40 Crime-Solving, Case-Breaking, Crook-Catching Activities for Kids
Book Review: Best Science experiement book? I'd say so!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, along with all of Jim Wiese's books, are a complete essential for any science teacher, curious adult, curious kid, student who has to complete a science project, or parent of a student who has to complete a science project.
I can't say enough about this line of books. When I taught biology, I used ideas in these books to run experiments in my classroom. One of my students lifted fingerprints off of tin foil via the method outlined in this book, I created an ink chromatography lab based on a lab in this book. My stories connected to these books are endless.
And I revently turned my friend who teaches elementary school onto these books. He's bought every one- more than the three I have. Rollercoaster Science looks neat. My favorite is Detective Science, then Magic Science. He's bought ones I didn't know exised and is starting a science club, which no doubt will revolve around these books. He did a fingerprinting activity in class last week, which sent the kids into a frenzy! They thought it was the coolest!
You'll never regret getting this book or any others from Jim Wiese. I only wish I had them when I was a kid!!!
