Book Review: Usborne Big Book of Science
Learning about the world through science has never been as interesting, or as easy, as it is in the “Big Book of Science” by Usborne publishers. The Big Book of Science outlines over fifty science experiments, which all use common household items such as clear tape and paper.
The Big Book of Science is a favorite among kids around the world, and was even named the winner of the Junior Prize in 2008 by The Royal Society in England. The book was chosen as the winner by a panel of kids who reviewed books from across the country for the prize.
Age Group
The Big Book of Science is designed for all kids’ ages four and up. The Big Book of Science provides younger kids with a good foundation of science knowledge, and is just plain fun for anyone who wants to experiment with science.
Older kids can work through the experiments without help, making The Big Book of Science is an excellent choice for parents who want to encourage an independent love of learning in their children.
Hands on Learning
The hands on approach helps kids learn about the basics of science using hands on experiments, instead of a classic curriculum. The book also explains the idea behind each experiment, so that you know why and how each one works.
The Big Book of Science covers topics such as optical illusions, air pressure and chemical reactions, to name just a few. The text also comes with hundreds of stickers to promote interest and motivate learning among kids.
Using The Big Book of Science
If you have a younger learner, then you will probably need to read the directions and information about the experiment to your child. Other than that, each of the experiments in the Big Book of Science are easy to complete for even the youngest learners.
If you are using The Big Book of Science with a four or five year old, you can expect that they will be far ahead of their peers once they begin attending Kindergarten.
