As I read through each 'Hands-on Science Mystery, ' I kept thinking that I can't wait to try that! The labs and demos are fun and easy to do, but the real beauty of these lessons is making the connection between the science you have learned and the real-life mystery that you can now solve. What a unique and refreshing approach to understanding science concepts!
