I was wondering what kind of resource book I could use with my very scientifically minded 9yo ds. Right now we are using TOPS Rocks and Minerals and this is his first exposure to the periodic table. I wanted him to have some kind of book available for him to look up any questions he has with this and any basic science concept that he comes across. Could you help?

Thanks so much!!

I personally enjoy Usborne's Science Encylcopedia.. personally because my oldest is only two. A few other books I read is How Things Work, How Science Work. You might want to check into a Usborne (?) Illustrated Dictionary of Physics/Chemistry/Physics. Otherwise even an old encylopedia would serve the purpose.

Check out MacBeth's website too... she has a lot of great books listed.

Another resource I enjoy is the Scientific American periodical. You might want to first check out this last resource in the library and see if it's too much over his head. It's great resource to keep abreast with the lastest scientific findings. Even science can get outdated.
