Electricity and magnetism are a huge part of our lives, and we often take these forces for granted. Before eBooks, computers, and remote control toys, though, scientists put a lot of effort into discovering how they worked, and how they could capture that energy to make our lives easier. Through their explorations, the connection and relationship between electricity and magnetism was discovered. Scientists and inventors found ways to bring electricity to the people who wanted and needed it. And, while we benefit from the discoveries that have already been made, there is always more to learn Whether you try the activities in this book as a fun unit study, as part of your homeschool science lessons, as an extra project for school or a science fair, or just to discover new things, you'll get an up-close look at electrical and magnetic forces. Enjoy the SHOCKING discoveries you make as you enjoy the PULL of science

Start with a cardboard frame and add motors to create hovercraft, solar-powered models, cable cars, and more. Explore ways to power your models with balloons, rubber bands and electric motors. In the classroom and at home kids learn science fundamentals as they fast prototype their models to get them going farther and faster. They are encouraged to be creative and try their own ideas. Materials are inexpensive and easy to find. The models have been tested by the author in his teacher workshops in 25 countries around the world.

These giant books containing exciting projects and experiments take a hands-on approach to science concepts. Hundreds of simple and easy experiments explore the various scientific principles behind natural phenomena like friction, centrifugal force, and the underlying laws of physics that help make machines work. These fun yet practical experiments make it easy for anyone to become a rocket scientist Sound and light may seem like things we know everything about, but by conducting these easy to navigate science experiments using these seemingly straight-forward concepts, young learners will see that there is "much" more than meets the eye. Through these informative and easy to conduct experiments and activities, budding scientists will discover the interesting and often-changing characteristics of materials in their everyday world.

There are four books in the series: Electricity and Magnets , Sound and Light , Forces and Motion and Matter and Materials . Each title contains 20 tried and tested experiments. The experiments are all safe to do, use household materials, are manageable but absorbing, and offer rewarding results. Readers are told how long each experiment lasts, what materials are needed and what the results mean. Eye-catching illustrations and engaging text make this the perfect book for the budding scientist!

Welcome to the wonders of famed inventor Nikola Tesla, the revolutionary scientist who dazzled audiences with his cutting-edge experiments, and to whom the world of technology is forever indebted. Although his name is largely forgotten today, Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers almost everything around us, from central heating, your home and office computers, to high-tech robots! Indeed, Tesla's contributions to the fields of electricity and magnetism continue to magnetize us still today.

Marie Curie's story has fascinated and inspired young readers
decades. The poor Polish girl who worked eight years to be able
to afford to attend the Sorbonne in Paris became one of the
most important scientists of her day, winning not one but two
Nobel Prizes. Her life is a fascinating one, filled with hard work,
humanitarianism, and tragedy. Her work with her husband,
Pierre - the study of radioactivity and the discovery of the
elements radium and polonium - changed science forever. But
she is less well known for her selfless efforts during World War
to establish mobile X-ray units so that wounded French soldiers
could get better care faster. When she stood to profit greatly
from her scientific work, she chose not to, making her methods
and findings known and available to all of science. As a result,
this famous woman spent most of her life in need of money,
often to buy the very elements she discovered.
Marie Curie's life and work are given a fresh telling, one that
also explores the larger picture of the effects of radium in world
culture, and its exploitation and sad misuse.
