A trio of titles kicks off David Glover's Experiments in Science series, which features one experiment per spread, with crisp photographs and plenty of white space. In How Does It Work?, for instance, school-age scientists experiment with ""Electricity,"" ""Forces and Movement,"" ""Light and Color"" and ""Sound and Music."" A ""Parents' Notes"" section at the beginning of each chapter helps adults approach the scientific principles and a quiz at the end tests children's knowledge. The other two titles are How Do Things Grow? and What Is It Made Of? ( Sept.)
