“Follow along in this great non-fiction book for kids that teaches them about Earth Science and how they can create their own Science projects. The book starts with information about the Water Cycle and the different types of weather related to water. For instance, the topics include, snow, groundwater, clouds, oceans , rivers and glaciers. It also touches on water vapor as well as condensation and evaporation. At the end of each section highlighted there is a project page where kids can create their own science project based on the topic discussed. The projects are easy and use every day items at home. There is a glossary in the back as well as metric conversions, books, websites and museum and science centers, and a question section as well as an index. This would be a great addition to a classroom as well as any collection looking for elementary aged information and projects about the water cycle. The book is easy to follow along and instructions are simple to implement.” FIVE STARS
