Backyard Scientist: A Science Wonderland for the Very Young
Backyard Scientist A Science Wonderland for the Very Young Author:Jane Hoffman, Lanny Ostroff (Illustrator) This is a special collection of hands-on science experiments forthe very young. Your child will be encourged and directed to develop skills in observing, predicting, classifying and communications. Experiments for preschool through 2nd grade from the award-winning author, Jane Hoffman. — Contents: — Pin cushion experiment (polymeric molecules) --
