I found this book on a list of best non-fiction books for children and young adults. What a fantastic book! If you have a child (or adult) that loves science, this book is a wonderful resource. Great science projects with very specific instructions and pictures are included and the best part, is the section 'Why does it do that?' which goes into the theory behind the experiments. My 10 year old son loves this book and reads it constantly. Can't wait to get the sequel... ( ) This book of projects you can put together at home features a number of interesting things I haven't seen before. Although I haven't built any of the projects myself, yet, they seem approachable and worthwhile. However, the book suffers from poor editing. The author has essentially published the same text and photos that are available on his website, which he constantly refers to (as a place to buy components). The photos, which are in color on the website, are reproduced only in black and white, so a great deal of detail is lost. I noticed especially in the radio chapter that there are many inconsistencies in the text. For example, in one project the directions involve some simple soldering which is presented without comment. In the following project, instructions are given for how to solder properly which would probably have been more useful in the earlier section. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Step-by-step instructions to building more than 30 fascinating devices are included in this book for workbench warriors and grown-up geeks. Detailed illustrations and diagrams explain how to construct a simple radio with a soldering iron, a few basic circuits, and three shiny pennies. Instructions are included for a rotary steam engine that requires a candle, a soda can, a length of copper tubing, and just 15 minutes. To use optics to roast a hot dog, no electricity or stove is required, just a flexible plastic mirror, a wooden box, a little algebra, and a sunny day. Also included are experiments most science teachers probably never demonstrated, such as magnets that levitate in midair, metals that melt in hot water, a Van de Graaff generator made from a pair of empty soda cans, and lasers that transmit radio signals. Every experiment is followed by an explanation of the applicable physics or chemistry. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
