Experiment with Outdoor Science

Experiment with Outdoor Science is an exceptionally good book that should be in every elementary school classroom. This book features many outdoor Experiments teaching on the topics of moving movements, mixing and separating, plants, bugs and birds, sky and space. Each section has 5 or more experiments. The book starts with a section teaching the golden rules for sensible scientists. The book offers a glossary where young scientists can look up the meaning of science words to learn more. Each experiment begins with a list of needed materials and shows a beautiful picture of the experiment. The steps are listed in a way that is easy to read and follow and also shows small pictures with each step. This book teaches not only the How but The Why. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to teach children science.

This is an excellent resource and guide for families to explore science outside. The book is divided into five different sections; Moving Moments, Mixing and Separating, Plants, Bugs and Birds, and Sky and Space. Each section has five or more experiment to try with great instructions and illustrations. My children love this book. It's one we'll use over and over!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is aimed at primary school age children between the ages of 7-11 and features some good, simple easy to do science experiments with children at school or at home.
The book covers topics such as space, bugs, insects, birds, sky, rain, plants, and mixing.
A great book for anyone interested in science.

This is such cool book! I can’t wait to do all of these experiments with my son! The design of this book is great, layout, pictures, everything! We’ll recommend This book to other parents.

This is a great book for parents, grandparents and teachers who want to encourage their young one's interest in science and nature. Good illustrations geared to the 8-10 year old. This is part of the STEAM Ahead series. Chapters include: Bugs and Birds, Sky and Space, Plants , Moving moments, and Mixing and separating. They cover some physics, biology and astronomy. All have list of needed items and each step is illustrated. A nice index at the end and a good Table of Contents start off the book. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book is honestly unremarkable. It contains a lot of the same experiments as many other books geared toward the same age group. It contains small bits of information about the science behind each experiment, but not enough to make this book stand out.

This would be a great book for children who are interested in nature. I especially liked the bright colors, and coded message boxes ("ask an adult," red warning boxes for possible minor dangers, yellow mess warnings). The book has five chapters focusing on movement, mixing/separating, plants, bugs/birds, and sky/space. Each project is described with a materials list, step-wise directions, diagrams and photos. They look like fun experiments that any child could do. I'm going to get this book for my grand-niece, who loves science and the outdoors.

This is such a cute book with many experiments for outdoor science. The ideas are creative and are also easily explained. I loved the variety of experiments presented. This book would be great for children who are interested in science and getting outdoors.

Experiment with Outdoor Science is an accessible science-based STE(A)M experiment collection aimed at younger readers. Due out 17th March 2020 from Quarto on their QEB imprint, it's 80 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

These are 30 very simple experiments using easily sourced materials, which are generally safe and illustrative. A short introductory chapter is followed by experiments grouped roughly by discipline: kinetics/movement, physical chemistry/mixtures, plant science, zoology, sky & space. The experiments are easy to follow and safe. Safety tips are highlighted with a red triangle and an exclamation point in a sidebar. Tips and tricks are also included in sidebars. Measurements are provided in the instructions in American standard and metric.

Each of the experiments includes tools and supplies list in a sidebar along with step by step instructions. There are tutorial photos as well as line drawn diagrams and pictures for each of the activities along with some very simple explanations of the theory. The book also includes a glossary and index.

Four stars.
