This last section is what really makes the experiments meaningful. From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-Over 70 physics experiments are presented in five broad areas, covering inertia, buoyancy, surface tension, air pressure, and propulsion. Some of the explanations raise questions concerning alternate approaches to the problem or ask readers what would happen if a step were changed or if a different material or item were used. While easy to duplicate, they demonstrate the intended principles and encourage critical thinking. Safety warnings remind readers to enlist an adult's help whenever sharp edges, heat, or any other hazard is involved. The author's style is lighthearted but clear. Each entry includes a brief introduction, a list of materials needed, instructions, and a discussion of the scientific theory behind the results. Either one will be adequa
Awesome Experiments in Force & Motion This book contains many great, practical experiments. The materials required to perform these experiments are usually things you would have around your house or classroom. One big problem with this book is the editing. There are many typographical errors and/or misusage of words. As a teacher you would not be able let the students just read the experiment out of the book because of these errors (although, it could be used for an editing assignment). I loo
