Description: Through thrilling experiment showdowns between distinctive, memorable characters, this book explains the scientific theories and terms found in upper elementary and middle school science textbooks in a way that's easy and fun to understand. It also covers key scientific principles, making it perfect for boosting kids' curiosity and interest in science. In particular, the included 'experiment kit' allows readers to actually try out the experiments featured in the book, so learning isn't limited to memorizing theory — kids can see real, hands-on results for themselves. For children who already love science, this book will be a great friend; for those who find science difficult, it will be like having a wonderful science teacher.
