What is the matter with matter? And what's this stuff called
Polyisopropene? In his new book "Creative Experimenting Using
Rubber Bands" Author David Tracy helps the reader to identify,
confront, and overcome their preconceived notions, and
misconceptions, about matter and energy by using ordinary rubber
bands to perform and series of surprising experiments. Presented in
a creative, intuitive, hands-on style, the book introduces the
reader to a short history of science, and the search for a
"primordial stuff," before delving into the life of Galileo and the
first experiments into the nature of motion. Many of the projects
and experiments are simple, inexpensive, and produce interesting
results for anyone with a sincere interest in the physics and
chemistry of polymers and their many modern uses. The book is
intended for creative thinkers and those who are in search of
creative new ways of looking at old problems, but can also be used
by students of science in search of new understanding.
