Customer Reviews
Average rating of 5/5 Wonderful excitement filled projects, 2005-01-06
What a great change, to see a "science book" with the sort of projects and demonstrations that will interest children of all ages, and quite a lot of adults.

The "Vacuum bazooka" is an extremely powerful device - especially with a damned great wet/dry vacuum powering it. We used plastic 35mm film cannisters and got 100 feet (high) shots from ours.

The fluid amplifier project is also nicely messy, but a great demonstration of some basic (electronic) theory.

Highly recommended to those interested in practical science, with good theoretical backup and resources in the book.
