About this title

From the Back Cover

36 Activities That Turn Learning About Physics into FUN! Turn heat energy into mechanical energy. Make a thermometer. Use gravity to cut an ice cube in two. Find out why popcorn pops and how a hammer generates heat. Formerly a title in Robert W. Wood's popular Physics for Kids series, this new edition brings thermodynamic principles to life with even more imaginative hands-on activities for home or school that will captivate children ages 8 and up. Complete, ready-to-use experiments (more than a third of them new) use common household items and can be completed in under one hour. All new illustrations guide each activity. Expanded step-by-step instructions and detailed explanations require no physics expertise on the part of the reader. Easy-to-understand background on the physics principles and explanations of expected results help to focus learning. A fascinating science fact concludes each experiment. Heat FUNdamentals offers the perfect alternative to TV on rainy or bad-weather days at home, and is a great supplement to any classroom science curriculum.
