I'm intrigued by your science find. I wonder if you can tell me a bit more about it. What topics does it cover? What kinds of experiments? Is there an electronics section? What kinds of materials will I need for the experiments.

The reason I ask is that we found a math book from the 1930s and my daughter LOVES it. We use Singapore math but she actually reads that book for enjoyment and works a couple of problems at bed time during her reading time!!! I'd be interested in checking out a similar Science book.

Please, let me know if you can!
