THE EXPLORATORIUM SCIENCE SNACKBOOK SERIES

"Clear, concise, and visual--the best assortment of wonder- filled ideas I have seen. A must-have."
--Paul Hewitt, author of Conceptual Physics

"Almost as much fun as exploring the Exploratorium, which, of course, is a googolplex of fun."
--Jearl Walker, author of The Flying Circus of Physics, with Answers

Now you can do your own version of 23 Exploratorium experiments on force and motion. All you need is a little curiosity, a few simple materials . . . and this book. Each experiment is easy to do, fully illustrated, and loaded with advice, ideas, helpful hints, and electrifying discoveries.

Build a pendulum that swings in intriguing patterns. Create a swirling, spiraling "tornado" of water. Through these and other projects in The Spinning Blackboard, you can learn the science behind the principles of force and motion.
