Introduction
I devised these books for children to collect everyday objects in a science box then to use them to make scientific discoveries and to follow the scientific method of observing, fair testing, recording (with suggestions on when to photograph and film) and concluding. Using these books they could set up an impressive laboratory at home or school which would support their school and exam work.
