Provides information on such topics as gravity, friction, sound, magnetism, light, heat, and energy and includes activities and experiments illustrating various principles

Reviews:

Grade 3-6-Principles of physics are introduced through hands-on activities and projects that demonstrate physical phenomena. The entries under the heading "Puff, Squeeze, Bang, Blow" deal with forces, air, and sound; "Click, Flash, Buzz, Whirr" address electricity and magnetism; and "Sizzle, Freeze, Bubble, Glow" cover heat, light, and chemical energy. Topics are presented that emphasize the relationship of science and technology to everyday life. Information is stated in clear, easy-to-understand terms and is complemented by numerous full-color drawings and diagrams. The activities are relatively simple and utilize readily obtained materials. The labeled diagrams and directions are detailed enough for the projects to be completed successfully. Safety precautions and adult supervision are marked where needed. Rather than the "cookbook" format frequently employed in such books, Cash encourages an open-ended approach by posing questions that lead readers to additional investigation. The attractive, clear presentation and nice balance of information on basic scientific principles and related technological developments make this an appealing additional title.
