A Drop of Water: A Book of Science and Wonder

Great photos and short scientific descriptions that make it easy to understand the properties of water. The experiments are easy but help with understanding. All my children (from 3 to 10) love it and look forward to it each week, and they can perform most of the experiments on their own with little to no help from an adult.

Its a large book with pictures. Not too many words. Great for primary school aged kids.

This book has so much great information. The pictures are stunning! Each Science concept is clear and concise with follow up Science lessons that can bring a unit study on water altogether.

I bought this book for my children but have learned a thing or two myself like why condensation appears on a glass of cold water, why the colours are in a particular order in a rainbow. I have a new found appreciation for water in all of its states (liquid, solid, gas) and hope that my children are as enthusiastic as I am about it. It would be great to see this in science class rooms and school libraries. I hope that in our family it starts a lot of ' did you know....' type conversations. The photography is amazing too

My kid loved it!

The photography is outstanding. It is very informational. My daycare children are in grades 1&2 and they just loved it. He really captured real life. My best is the snowflakes.

I love this book. The photography is beautiful and strongly reinforces the concepts. I have done many of the experiments with students from third grade through middle school, and I am considering using them with younger levels. The notes in the back of the book help budding scientists duplicate the experiments and enhance their understanding. I highly recommend this resource.

We loved reading this book. The photography of water is so beautiful in this book, coupled with the simple to understand scientific teaching about water. I recommend it to all my friends who like to learn or teach.

Very satisfied with my purchase! They are very pleasant to look as much for the younger and olders. My 4-year-old boy likes very much these books! I am making him a small collection.

I'm just not enjoying this book. Not one bit. The pictures are beautiful, but the text is dry and boring.

Not quite as impressive as expected. My kids love most books especially science. but found this dull.
