This book enables you to measure physical quantities by using little more than a ruler, a balance, and a few other simple tools, demonstrating that basic experiments yield valuable insights into the fundamental laws of nature. With detailed instructions, it allows even beginners in physics to perform meaningful experiments, helping them to improve their understanding of and develop skills in the core scientific practices of observation, inference, and data analysis. The author emphasizes the historical and philosophical context of physics, tracing its evolution through real-life examples. These examples and the book's hands-on approach encourage a wider understanding of the place of physics in human experience and of the ways scientific breakthroughs occur.
