This article is packed full of knowledge. It covers many big ideas but does not spend a lot of time with the details. It is a great outline to use and to receive ideas from. Like others have said some of the materials that are used for certain experiments are not easily assessable. Some materials are easy to substitute but others cannot be substituted, which makes a few experiments hard. The format that it is written is very easy to follow. I think this is ideal for students. It is great how it is broke down. This could be a unit that is spread out throughout a week, a lesson and project for each day. Depending on the materials and length of time each teacher has for this lesson, it has a variety of opportunities.

If you are new to this, then do not read the footnotes the first time through - they are interesting for those of us who are reviewing this information but would be confusing for a beginner - read them the second time through! While there are possibly simpler explanations, they are probably NOT as complete as this - it covers a lot of material. Good introduction for the beginner, great review for those who have had this before but it has been a while. This would also be a good text for high school students to look over as a supplement or quick review of the high points in a physical science (maybe not physics) class.
