"Everything a plant needs to grow―light, fertilizer, water, and air―is covered in this short yet informative offering. Each of the four experiments starts with basic information about what a plant needs before heading into materials and clearly written instructions. The simple projects plainly illustrate how too much or too little light, water, fertilizer, or air can affect plant growth. Applying Vaseline to the top or bottom of a plant leaf, for instance, can show how limiting a plant's access to air will make leaves wither. All of the materials required, presented in labeled photos, are easily obtainable and inexpensive, though tips on where to find or how to grow seedlings would have been helpful. Full-color photographs demonstrate exactly what a budding young scientist needs to do to carry out the experiment and depict close-ups of plants, seeds, and roots. Helpful sidebars provide tips or further details on a subject. End material includes a chart on various types of measurements, a glossary, a guide to further reading, and links to additional online resources."―Booklist
