Editorial Reviews

11/01/2019
Gr 2–5—This series encourages kids to safely take apart tech to see what makes it tick. Each volume includes some safety guidelines as well as a list of materials needed to complete the suggested project. Diagrams label the different pieces as the destruction progresses. Simple descriptions of how the individual pieces work together to make the object work, like the gears and crystals in a clock, are helpful. After the take-apart process, the author offers suggestions for ways to reuse the disassembled parts, like turning the empty shell of a computer mouse into a piggy bank. Recommendations for disposal of the un-reused pieces would have been welcomed, as not all bits can be recycled and none should make their way to a landfill. VERDICT Less useful as instructional guides than as books full of experiments, but still a good idea. An additional purchase.
