"The best magic is that which involves absolutely no sleight‎-of‎-hand‎,‎ only the unexpected yet natural workings of nature‎.‎ Physics‎,‎ Fun‎,‎ and Beyond is chock full of just this kind of magic‎-simple yet fascinating experiments‎,‎ easy to follow and colorful drawings‎,‎ and fun facts‎.‎ Simply wonderful‎!‎" ‎-Roald Hoffmann‎,‎ 1981 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry Pure Fun‎,‎ Pure Excitement‎:‎ You‎'‎‎;‎ve Never Learned Physics Like This Before‎!‎ Physics is pure excitement‎:‎ nothing‎'‎‎;‎s more fun than discovering how the world works and exploring its many possibilities‎!‎ With Physics‎,‎ Fun‎,‎ and Beyond‎,‎ you‎'‎‎;‎ll grab the universe in your own two hands as you build more than 110 projects that uncover the physics beneath everyday life‎!‎ Most of these projects are amazingly easy to build‎:‎ all you‎'‎‎;‎ll need are your everyday household tools and cheap ‎(‎sometimes even free‎)‎ 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:‎ * Step on eggs without breaking them‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎and understand the principles of material strength * Build the "Magic Can" that teaches you about the different kinds of energy * Discover why the Earth isn‎'‎‎;‎t exactly round * Learn more about gravity‎,‎ with the "Astronaut in the Elevator" experiment * Use pendulums to visualize radio/TV frequencies and broadcasting * Feel pressure by sitting on a bed of nails * Build hydraulic robots to discover how you can transmit and amplify forces * Construct wings and wind tunnels that show why airplanes fly * Learn about optics by making bottles invisible * Recreate the sun and sky to realize why the sky is blue * Demonstrate the "greenhouse effect" with a homemade solar heater * Get water to climb walls‎-as you understand cohesion and adhesion * Build "wireless phones" that capture sound and make acoustics fun * Create simple motors that display the basics of electromagnetism Physics‎,‎ Fun‎,‎ and Beyond is for kids‎,‎ teenagers‎,‎ teachers‎,‎ parents‎,‎ homeschoolers‎.‎ ‎.‎‎.‎everyone from 10 to 100 with curiosity and a passion for discovery and new challenges‎!‎ ‎(‎c‎)‎ Copyright Pearson Education‎.‎ All rights reserved
