Summary

"Over 70 physics experiments are presented in five broad areas [with]...a discussion of the scientific theory behind the results....Really makes the experiments meaningful...easy to duplicate, they demonstrate the intended principles and encourage critical thinking. The author's style is lighthearted but clear."--School Library Journal.
