From the Back Cover
FUNtastic FUNdamentals of simple machines-the basic principles, but not a basic approach! Did you ever see a ping-pong ball dance? Create a balloon Hovercraft? Launch a bottle rocket? These are just three of 35 engaging experiments featured in this lively approach to the subject of mechanics. Children enjoy making and using simple machines. These hands-on activities-accompanied by trivia, whimsical illustrations, and mini-biographies of contributing scientists from ancient and modern times-involve children in learning about such things as energy conservation, centrifugal force, gravity, turbines, wheels, screws, pendulums, friction, air expansion, and levers. Easy and fun to do, but grounded in solid scientific theory, these projects are great for a rainy day at home, or to supplement a school science program. Each one can be completed in less than an hour, using inexpensive materials found around the house, such as pop bottles, needles, cans, candles, and balloons. And you don't have to be a physics expert: any parent or teacher can "start the ball rolling" with the step-by-step instructions, materials list, background material, and expected outcome provided with every experiment. Formerly a title in the vastly popular Physics for Kids series from TAB/McGraw-Hill, this new edition is thoroughly revised and illustrated, with many new experiments to captivate children ages 8 and up. From the wheels that make the world go round to the science of flight, Mechanics fundamentals will set the ball rolling on a lifelong interest in the world of physics.
