Happily "un" sensational, the books in this series present experiments that are generally simple, feasible, and interesting, such as estimating the height of skyscrapers. Materials are easily obtainable, and instructions are clear, augmented with relaxed illustrations and photos. More important, without fanfare Gardner encourages thinking about the experiments, supplying a few necessary answers at the end. Reading list, websites. Glos, ind. [Review covers these Sensational Science Experiments titles: "Far-out Science Projects with Height and Depth, Heavy-duty Science Projects with Weight, It's about Time! Science Projects, " and "Split-second Science Projects with Speed". ](Copyright 2003 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
