Reviews/Testimonials
“The World Book Student Discovery Science Encyclopedia is a great reference for general information about hundreds of science topics for beginning scientists to more experienced, junior highage students. The tome is far more in depth than a dictionary, yet each entry is still brief and to the point—at just the right depth and detail to be used as a starting point for further interest and research....Throughout each volume are simple experiments to go along with the factual information presented….There are also little “did you know” sidebars that provide interesting trivia peppered throughout each book. Overall, the information presented in this set is great, but it is these additions, which will not only teach students, but also get them excited about science, that make this tome a must-have for any classroom. Highly Recommended”
