The book begins with a brief explanation of scientific analysis and terminology (“control,” “variable,” etc.), then progresses into the five aforementioned sections. Each section includes a variety of experiments, all covered in roughly two to four pages worth of text; within each section, Tocci includes the following (where applicable):
*Materials used
*Diagrams
*Explanations
*Mathematical formulas
*Charts
All of these “textbook organizers” help to convey the concepts and ideas in an easy-to-use manner. Because science can often seem like an intimidating area of study, it is refreshing to see science experiments presented in such an accessible fashion. My favorite chapter: “Why Is Making a Pineapple Gelatin Dessert Not a Good Idea?” The sheer absurdity of the juxtaposed items helps bring a sense of humor to the text, and actually (*gasp*) makes science seem fun!
The author, Salvatore Tocci, has almost three decades of teaching experience under his belt; clearly, he has learned a thing or two about conveying abstract scientific ideas to younger audiences. While I may not be trying out any of these experiments in the near future, I have enjoyed looking at Science Fair Success Using Supermarket Products, and I respect the fact that Tocci has actually brought joy and fun to the subject area of science.
