Science has never been so much fun The Boy Scientist offers all the
vintage appeal of Popular Mechanics's popular Boy Mechanic series
combined with daring adventures in the laboratory. Taken from the
turn-of-the-twentieth-century issues of Popular Mechanics magazine,
these 160 experiments-based on chemistry, math, and physics-carry
on the Popular Mechanics's tradition of making science engaging and
entertaining. And even though technology has changed, and our
knowledge of how things work has grown, the underlying scientific
principles behind these activities remain sound. The projects
include constructing a homemade mariner's compass; microscope
without a lens; telescopic rangefinder; figuring out the height of
a tall tree with the help of the sun; magnetizing watches and metal
tools; crystallizing minerals in the lab; and building a simple
radio transmitting set. Plus, there are thought-provoking
experiments with gravity, pressure, and vacuums, and information on
carrying out all these activities safely. As always in the series,
charming illustrations throughout add to the nostalgic appeal. This
classic collection is the perfect gift for every budding young mad
scientist
