Has less personality than 'Chemtrek' but still it's fine.
I saw this at the local University library and ran home to order it. It is a cut above standard lab books. It has the personal feel from the author and is enjoyable reading (if you are a chemistry teacher!). I'm using it at the high school level but it is definitely more geared for freshman year undergrad. ... Read more

Book Description

Nucleic acids are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA and are found in virtually every living cell. Molecular biology is a branch of science that studies the physicochemical properties of molecules in a cell, including nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. Increased understanding of nucleic acids and their role in molecular biology will further many of the biological sciences including genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology.Progress in Nucleic Acid Research and Molecular Biology is intended to bring to light the most recent advances in these overlapping disciplines with a timely compilation of reviews comprising each volume.

Easy Science and Math growing up in the MacDonald Clan
I think this book is strong in all areas. Its hard not to when the author is your mother. (Not to mention living through as a child, what is now in all her books and i wouldn't have had it ANY other way)
Good goin' mom!

Excellent math activities.
This book is extremely strong in a few areas. First, the book has an excellent background for teaching science to very young children. Second, the experiments use easily-obtained materials in a hands-on inquiry approach to science. Third, the book is exceptionally good in encouraging math activities such as patterns, recording changes and graphing. However, the science part is not that impressive. Everyday Discoveries does encourage children's curiousity about Life Sciences and Changes in Matter. But the experiments lack scientific explanations, even simple descriptions of scientific phenomena. Use Everyday Discoveries to broaden your background in teaching science and for some great math activities for children up to age 10...The Science Spiders(TM) Newsletter. ... Read more
