Making Waves (Boston Children's Museum Activity Book)
Finding out about rhythmic motion is more than just a day at the beach. Young scientists can follow the fun-filled, step-by-step instructions provided to build wave generators, bubble domes, and eighty-legged centipedes and then use the devices to do more than fifty ingenious experiments that demonstrate how wave energy travels through matter. "This title offers exciting, creative activities in an appealing format."--School Library Journal. A Boston Children's Museum Activity Book.

About the Author:
Roy Doty has received many honors for his works. He is the recipient of two art directors' awards and has been voted Cartoonist Illustrator of the Year three times by the National Cartoonists Society. In addition to writing and illustrating his own books for children, he has illustrated more than one hundred books for other authors, including The Invention of Ordinary Things and You Can Speak Up in Class.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-8-This book invites young people to find out about rhythmic motion in nature by making wave generators, bubble domes, and four different model machines. The detailed lists of materials needed include suggestions on where to purchase items that are not readily available. Black-line diagrams and easy-to-follow directions are provided, and interesting, open-ended experiments are suggested. Zubrowski gives background information on the basic properties of waves in liquid and solid materials, which encourages reflection on the significance of each project in science and technology. Like the author's other child-tested entries in the series, this title offers exciting, creative activities in an appealing format.
