Beloved by 9 year olds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My son doesn't like reading much, but he loves this book. He comes back with all sorts of odd and interesting facts and is developing a really clear understanding of how things work. I think D & K publishers are consistently good and this is better than their usual high standard. I would definitely recommend, for home and also as an excellent gift.
Great for Children (and some adults)

Having been trained in science (PhD in Physics) and having taught physics at the university level for 40 years, I think this is the best tool I have ever seen for presenting basic physical principles at a level that intelligent people 8 years old and up can really understand. It has no competition that I am aware of. Outstanding idea and execution.

Offering more than sixty experiments and hands-on projects suitable for budding scientists age 10 and older (with safety precautions detailed where needed), The Way Science Works offers a fascinating glimpse into everything from the workings of the atom to understanding the true nature of gravity, to optical illusions and magnetism. Hundreds of excellent color photographs illustrate this superbly organized instructional reference. Although filled with fascinating revelations which would appeal to readers of all ages, The Way Science Works is particularly geared to show younger folks just how much amazing fun science can be!
