Usborne Science and Experiments presents, The World of the Microscope, A Practical Introduction with Projects and Activities. Without reading like a text book, The World of the Microscope investigates the enormous variety of objects too small for the eye to see, from insects to microchip circuits. Step-by-step diagrams show how to get the best from a microscope and how to make and keep slides. The book covers different types of microscopes from magnifying glasses to electron microscopes, and there are plenty of exciting suggestions for projects which reveal the incredible detail of everyday objects. The book also contains a section on the use of microscopes in science and industry. This book makes a wonderful gift for children up to 14 years old, although we know many adults that enjoy it as well!

A Cool Microscope Resource Book.

A super cool resources with tons of experiments. I'll update this review after we try them out more. My friend has this for her boy who is the same age (5, almost 6) and she absolutely loves it. I adore Usborne books for the most part and this one looks great for a large range of ages. It is not super long, but it packs a lot into it. I'm a chemical engineer and so I have an idea of what is a good scientific resource.
