Backyard Biology

This amazing science experiment book focuses on topics related to biology.  The chapters include:  The Study of Life, Cells Alive!, Microbiology Reveals an Invisible World, Plants Make Life Possible, Plant Life Cycles, Adaptations are a Matter of Life and Death, Animal Life Cycles, and Protect Living Things.  Each chapter has background information followed by a number of experiments and activities related to the topic.  The illustrations on each page compliment and do not make the layout too busy or distracting.  The list of supplies and the instructions for each activity are clearly written and straight forward.  A thorough index and glossary can be found at the back of the book.  This book is a wonderful addition to our library collection and should be well used for students participating in the science fair.
