Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Science Experiments Index for Young People
Mary Anne Pilger · 2005
60/100
👎 Skip It
Four editions of this Libraries Unlimited reference tool demonstrate genuine sustained utility for school librarians helping students find hands-on science experiments across a large book collection. But the indexed books mostly predate 2005, the print-index format has been superseded by online database tools, and this was always a library professional resource rather than a book a child or teacher would use directly. It earns its place on a reference shelf circa 2005; it does not earn a recommendation today.
