Simple investigations are included to encourage careful observation, precise measurement, accurate recording, the interpretation of evidence, and the preparation of concise written reports. There are three appendices: Questions, similar to those set in science examinations, Further Reading and a Glossary. ...a wide-ranging well written book...easy to read...clear explanations.
