What Magnets Can Do (Rookie Read-About Science: Physical Science: Previous Editions)

Fun simple book that explains magnets to kids. Great pictures.

I ordered this book for my Family Child Care. I had also ordered the Learning Resources Super Magnet Lab for them and this book was a great resource for them. It gave them lots of information and was just perfect for the age group that I have that will be using the magnets and the book, which are ages 4 to 10.

I admit I was a tad disappointed when this book arrived. It is so small and thin I wondered how it could possibly help my first grader understand what magnets are about. Well, I did purchase several other books on the subject but this provided the basis for understanding what magnets are about, at a level a young child can easily comprehend.The book covers basic information on magnets, and how magnets attract and repel, as well as the objects magnets repel and attract.

My students enjoyed it. It has some good information. It made my lesson better.

this book is perfect for my 3 year old nephew! I bought a magnet game for him to play after reading (having it read to him by parents).

Starting up a science club for 7 years olds. First meeting will be on magnets. Bought this book and a magnet fun box for learning. Simple easy to read book with large print.

Very simplistic and educational book. My son recently showed interest in magnets. I thought it was time to teach him. The one thing i'd recommend with this book is a magnetic starter kit. There are parts in the book that feel like a set of magnets should be used while reading it to better explain what you're teaching.Simple, but nice book.
