Publisher's Synopsis
This text aims to help children aged four to seven to learn the alphabet and science as they meet Archie and his friends. The authors combine reading and rhyming with simple science activities to create a resource that provides a multidisciplinary approach for the very young. Projects begin with a list of simle, household materials and come with step-by-step instructions. Other activities include making crystals, using salt to experiment with buoyancy, concocting homemade glue, using water to magnify, and more. At the end of the book, science principles are explained for the benefit of adult companions.
