Review Quotes




Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science wrote the following review:

"Children learn about every aspect of energy-its various types (e.g. solar, magnetic...), forms ( e.g. kinetic vs. potential), and uses. In addition, this kit teaches children about the choices we face in the future:

Where will our energy come from?
How can we make the best use of our resources?
How do we protect our environment and health?

As with the entirety of the ScienceWiz line, the kits are accompanied by a booklet written specifically for children. The writing is clear, concise and engaging, complimented strongly by clever illustrations."




About the Author



EDITOR: Ann Einstein, M.A.T. from George Washington University in Washington D.C., was a teacher in the Berkeley Unified School District. She has been involved with the education of children for most of her adult career as a director of early childhood education programs, as a teacher in gifted and talented programs and most recently as an elementary education teacher. She has been an editor of the ScienceWiz(TM) Books since 1994 when she edited the ElectroWiz(TM) Electricity book. Ann brings a clarity of mind and the capacity to see things through a child's eyes to the editing process.

To quote an Einstein of an earlier generation:

"We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born." - Albert Einstein
