Description

*Puff-squeeze-bang-click-flash-sizzle*. Physics is fun! Packed with facts and activities based on simple materials available around the house, here's where kids will find hours of enjoyment as well as practical learning about how physics figures in our everyday lives. For example: Make a parachute and discover air resistance. Make a kite and learn about aerodynamics. Make a drum and uncover the principles of sound. Construct a telegraph and learn about electricity. Make a crane and understand electromagnetism. Build a sundial and find out about light and shadow. Put together an anemometer and find out about wind speed. Every page is filled with bright full-color illustrations, along with clear diagrams of how things work, and how to make the simple instrument--a telescope or a sundial, for instance--that demonstrates a physical phenomenon. Every child, and the child in you, will love this adventure into the exciting world of sight, sound, and movement.
