Book Overview
"...Easy to duplicate, [these experiments] demonstrate the intended principles and encourage critical thinking. The author's style is lighthearted but clear."-- School Library Journal The force is with us--and these experiments prove it. Whether kids are creating soap-powered fish or sending potato pieces flying into the sky, every activity is as educational as it is entertaining. Demonstrate inertia with a super-amazing Card Shot trick that seems magical but is a simple matter of science. Locate the center of gravity by checking out where a cardboard rocket ship lands (there's a picture to trace to help you make the rocket), and create your own "great salt lake" in the kitchen to demonstrate buoyancy. Ordinary, easy-to-find materials are all you need to get moving on these fun-filled investigations.

Awesome Experiments in Force & Motion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
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 look forward to using many of these experiments, which coincide with the standards, in teaching science to my third and fourth grade students.
