Physics, Fun, And Beyond: Electrifying Projects And Inventions From Recycled And Low Cost Materials - Softcover
Synopsis
&;The best magic is that which involves absolutely no sleight-of-hand, only the unexpected yet natural workings of nature. Physics, Fun, and Beyond is chock full of just this kind of magic&;simple yet fascinating experiments, easy to follow and colorful drawings, and fun facts. Simply wonderful!&;
&;Roald Hoffmann, 1981 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry
Pure Fun, Pure Excitement: You&;;ve Never Learned Physics Like This Before!
Physics is pure excitement: nothing&;;s more fun than discovering how the world works and exploring its many possibilities! With Physics, Fun, and Beyond, you&;;ll grab the universe in your own two hands as you build more than 110 projects that uncover the physics beneath everyday life!
Most of these projects are amazingly easy to build: all you&;;ll need are your everyday household tools and cheap (sometimes even free) materials. From wind tunnels to flying saucers, you&;;ll learn exactly how to safely build these experiments, why they work, and what they mean. Learn about all this, and more:

Step on eggs without breaking them...and understand the principles of material strength
-
Build the &;Magic Can&; that teaches you about the different kinds of energy
-
Discover why the Earth isn&;;t exactly round
-

About the Author
About the Author
Eduardo de Campos Valadares received his doctorate in physics from the Brazilian Center for Physical Research in Rio de Janeiro in 1987 and did postdoctoral research at São Paulo University (1987–1990) and at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom (1990–1993). Since 1993, he has been with the Physics Department of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, one of the major Brazilian universities. Valadares has published over 60 papers in different areas of condensed matter physics, physics education, and the popularization of science. His first book is a translation of work by the German poet Stefan George (Iluminuras, São Paulo, 2000), followed by Física mais que divertida (UFMG University Press, 2000, 2nd edition, 2002), launched in Germany in 2003 by Aulis Verlag Deubner (Spaß mit Physik) and now in the United States by Prentice Hall (the American edition, Physics, Fun, and Beyond, is enlarged with over 40 new projects and includes comments on all experiments). He also published in Brazil a biography of Isaac Newton (Odysseus Editora, 2003), illustrated with low-cost experiments highlighting Newton's ideas. Valadares is co-author of an introductory book on nanotechnology targeted at secondary school teachers, a joint publication of the Brazilian Physical Society and Editora Livraria da Física (2005). In 2001 he received the State Prize Francisco the Assis Magalhães Gomes for his contributions to popularization of science and technology in Brazil. He is also the president of the Youth Science Foundation Brazil. Valadares loves playing with his three children, who deeply inspire him, and to contemplate the world from the top of the mountains surrounding his home.

Physics, Fun, and Beyond: Electrifying Projects and Inventions from Recycled and Low-Cost Materials
Seller: Oak Books, Ouyen, VIC, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. 1. Curious people of all ages, teachers, and students will love this unique book. With many hands-on experiments based on simple items such as balloons, mirrors, and flashlights, a focus on creativity, perception, and innovation, this open-ended book covers a wide range of topics, from everyday phenomena to cutting-edge technology demonstrated in the kitchen. In a recent editorial in Chemical and Engineering News, Dick Zare clearly stated that our aspirations should be 'to give each student the opportunity to explore and to pursue the answers to open-ended questions . . . Let's work harder to avoid telling students too much about everything, and instead encourage them to become independent thinkers.' This book will help the reader to become that independent thinker. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that. Images & Editions We use stock images and database descriptions based on the ISBN.
