With <I>Physics, Fun, and Beyond</I>, you';ll grab the universe in your own two hands as you build more than 110 projects that uncover the physics beneath everyday life!</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Most of these projects are amazingly easy to build: all you';ll need are your everyday household tools and cheap (sometimes even <I>free</I>) 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:</P> <UL> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Step on eggs without breaking them...and understand the principles of material strength</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Build the “Magic Can” that teaches you about the different kinds of energy</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Discover why the Earth isn';t exactly round</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Learn more about gravity, with the “Astronaut in the Elevator” experiment </P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Use pendulums to visualize radio/TV frequencies and broadcasting </P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Feel pressure by sitting on a bed of nails</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Build hydraulic robots to discover how you can transmit and amplify forces</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Construct wings and wind tunnels that show why airplanes fly</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Learn about optics by making bottles invisible</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Recreate the sun and sky to realize why the sky is blue </P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Demonstrate the “greenhouse effect” with a homemade solar heater</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Get water to climb walls–as you understand cohesion and adhesion</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Build “wireless phones” that capture sound and make acoustics fun</P> <LI> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Create simple motors that display the basics of electromagnetism</P></LI></UL> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"><I>Physics, Fun, and Beyond</I> is for kids, teenagers, teachers, parents, homeschoolers...everyone from 10 to 100 with curiosity and a passion for discovery and new challenges!</P><BR> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">© Copyright Pearson Education.
