이 책은 우선 생명과학의 의의와 생물계, 생명과학 탐구과정을 살펴본 후, 생물계에 따른 다양한 실험들을 직접 해볼 수 있는 내용으로 구성하였다. 또한 교육과정에서 강조하고 있는 융합적 측면의 실험도 가미하였다. 이 실험서에 포함된 실험들은 사전에 예비교사와 현장교사들이 실험을 해보고 초등 교사교육에 적용 가능한 실험인지, 시간 내에 가능한 것인지를 확인한 후 완성되었다.
한편, 학부나 대학원 수업에서 실험보고서를 매 차시별로 출력하여 제출하고 평가받는 번거로움을 덜기 위하여 실험책에 활동 결과들을 바로 정리할 수 있는 형태로 실험서를 구성하여 포트폴리오로서 역할을 하도록 하였다. 포트폴리오로서의 보고서를 완성함으로써 추후 학생들을 지도하기 위한 학습자료의 역할도 충분히 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
