From lightning bolts to robotics, this book lifts the lid on science, giving you the chance to experiment with the theories for yourself. Whether you want to lean about the myriad colours that make up the Aurora Borealis or discover that makes you float in the Dead Sea, this book explains key theories in clear and accessible language with breathtaking images. You can explore and test scientific principles in the dramatic experiments in each section - from creating your own polymer slime to investigating rocket power. Authoritative and down-to-earth coverage of the major chemistry and physics topics means that you can find out why science matters and how it is changing our world. From the material world to magnetism and electricity, you'll find the latest examples of science in action, and you'll be able to learn by doing, with lots of exciting, practical experiments. With a fascinating collection of facts and figures, and a full glossary and index, "The Way Science Works" is the ideal companion to the science curriculum.
