scientific recreations

A collection of experiments measuring distances, weights, heights, and temperatures using common household items like toilet paper.

Presents a variety of activities, projects, and experiments that help to illustrate and explain all sorts of scientific principles.

Text, experiments, and scientific recreations introduce basic concepts about matter, heat, forces, sound, electricity, and other areas of physics.

Provides instructions for simple science experiments, using everyday materials to explore weight, water, heat and chemistry, motion, botany, and the sun.

Presents several magic tricks that demonstrate principles of mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics.

Magic tricks based on the principles of science are grouped into the areas of magnetism, numbers, chemistry, dry ice, and physics.

In this introduction to chemistry, well-organized, concise information offers the building blocks for the activities included and stresses the safety factor.

A collection of tricks, stunts, and puzzles that explore the properties of water, air, friction, heat, motion, light, and more.

Provides instructions for twenty-nine scientific experiments, tricks, and effects, in which the reader is challenged to explain or predict the final outcome.
