Science Projects about the Physics of Toys and Games

By Robert Gardner

Study toy cars that loop-the-loop and defy gravity ...throw a curve with a beach ball ...determine the thickness of a soap bubble. The ideas introduced in this book will help students perform challenging, educational, and fun science fair projects. All that is needed are some simple materials, most of which can be found around the home or school and in a toy store. Students will then be ready to investigate gravity, friction, electrical charges, and more. Includes many ideas for science fair projects.

Fun and educational

As a teacher who loves to use toys to get my point across, I found this book very valuable. It not only explains how certain toys work, but also tell you how to make your own. This is a far cry from the traditional science fair book -- and a vast imporvement.Parents and teachers alike will get their money's worth for this book.
