Science Wizardry for Kids by M. Kenda and P.S. Williams

Visit your local library or bookstore to pick up this compendium of fun and engaging science projects and experiments (multiple editions available, published by Barron's Educational Series). These activities appear to be best suited for elementary to early middle school-age students; they cover a wide range of subjects, including life science, geology, chemistry, and astronomy, among others.  The book also has a thoughtful introduction about safety and how to be a good scientist (Start keeping a science notebook!).  The text is easy to understand, and is accompanied by nice graphics that tell what to do and what it means.  You probably already have a lot of the materials at home that you need for these projects and experiments.  Thanks to Joy Tshibangu at U.T. Arlington for bringing this great book to our attention.
