To be completely honest, I purchased this product because I needed a few more pennies to reach $99 for free shipping. However, I am SUPER happy that I bought this product!!! This book is GREAT! This book has nine different activities, each one DIVING deeper into the topic of Carterian Divers. Reading this book, you and your students will learn the history of Cartesian Divers as well as how and why they work. The activities range from the Standard Cartesian Diver to Cartesian Claws (a super cool game much like the machines to win stuffed animals).
I have found only one downside to this book. The book mentions that some items are included in the kit; however, this book is a stand-alone item and the items mentioned are sold separately.
All in all, this is an amazing book and I recommend it to anyone who is discovering the world of Cartesian Divers for themselves or anyone sharing the wonders of Cartesian Divers to young minds!
