Book recommendation please: The Scientific Method

Post by fretmeister » Mon Apr 30, 2012 4:50 pm

Evening All.

Can anyone recommend a book aimed at 8-10 years olds on the scientific method? Is there such a thing for that age?

My eldest is getting more curious by the minute!

(I may also send a copy to a few adults that need it too!)

ta

Paul.
