How many stars can you see? How big are the moon and the sun? Why are there seasons? Robert Gardner guides young scientists in building their own observatory. Then they can use the observatory to find answers to many questions and to develop their own science fair projects.

Build-a-Lab! Science Experiments series. Gardner provides instructions on how to build tools specific to each content area (such as testing kits for forensics and an astrolabe for astronomy) that are then used to conduct a collection of home-based science experiments. The detailed instructions, accompanied by helpful diagrams, color photographs, and suggestions for science fair projects, allow science-minded readers to form their own conclusions.
