Grade 6-10-- This collection of science demonstrations covers basic physical properties such as momentum, buoyancy, vibrations, and electromagnetics. Procedures and explanations are clearly written, mathematics are either avoided or kept to a minimum, and most of the required equipment is found at home or easily constructed. Where appropriate, safety warnings are printed in bold type. Suggestions for additional experiments and further readings are found under each topic. Illustrations are limited to a few simple drawings and drab black-and-white photographs. This is a handy reference book of classic physics demonstrations, especially for teachers. Students looking for good science-fair projects should consider more original experiments. --Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC
