Exploding Disk Cannons, Slimemobiles, and 32 Other Projects for Saturday Science by Neil A. Downie

These curious and offbeat science experiments provide Saturday scientists of all ages with new ways to mess up the basement and gross out moms with historical background, a list of equipment, detailed instructions, and a full explanation of the science behind it. For those intrigued by any particular experiment, Downie tells you how to tinker with the initial “recipe.”Whether printing with invisible ink or marveling at the power of an exploding soda bottle, high-school science teachers, inveterate tinkerers, and amateur scientists will find in this book a full range of projects guaranteed to banish the boredom of a long Saturday afternoon.Praise for Downie’s Ink Sandwiches, Electric Worms, and 37 Other Experiments for Saturday Science:“A job well done, and I recommend it for anyone trying to get science across to a non-specialist audience.” Ph”The science in these projects is very nicely explained and the directions are good.” C Physicist
