Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Science Project Ideas about Animal Behavior
Robert Gardner · 1997
Robert Gardner knows how to write a science project book, and this one delivers — real zoological content (honeybee communication, sound direction in animals, instinct vs. learned behavior) paired with step-by-step project instructions and clear diagrams. The reviewer note that a competitor offers slightly deeper background is fair, but for a grades-4-to-6 science fair participant, this is a solid, engaging guide. Nearly thirty years old but the animal behavior covered is foundational science that has not fundamentally changed.
