Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Hazel Buys
Offering adventures in recycling, Enz promotes that idea that just about anything can be recycled if a scientific approach to problem solving is used. The six steps of inventing provide a road map and are demonstrated in each of seven recycling projects. The problem is presented as a question and the steps of considering the properties of the item to be recycled, using this information to come up with ideas, making a plan, creating a new product that solves the problem and finally, analyzing it for improvements—all outlined in six-easy-to-follow steps. Color photographs and lists of materials and related information, offset in contrasting color sidebars, help make the scientific approach easy to understand and encourage the reader to give these projects a try. Words printed in bright yellow are found in the glossary. Enz' book ends with a glossary, a list of resources titled "Read More" and "Internet Sites," and an index. This book, one of the "Fact Finders: Invent It" series, would be a good addition to an upper elementary or middle school library or class on conservation, the environment, or the study and application of the scientific method.
