Review:
Using simple household items to create toys that spin, fling, collide, and
whiz, kids will grasp the basics of concepts of gravity, inertia, balance, and
energy. Projects are very hands-on. Most activities can be completed with
minimal assistance. Every page is jam-packed (in age-appropriate
vocabulary) with factoids, fun facts about famous inventors, and inspiration
for science lovers of all ages.
