Book Reviews of Physics Experiments for Children (Dover Children's Science Books)
Book Review: Perfect for building intuition
Summary: 5 Stars
Too often, physics students learn to rely on mathematical formulae without really understanding what is happening. Muriel Mandell's little gem offers a set of deceptively simple experiments for helping young students build basic skills and intuition which are so necessary for later studies. You'll need only household items to do all the experimentation described here. Use this book as a starting point for discussions of Newton's Laws of Motion; the relationship between pressure, temperature, and volume; states of matter; and more. Highly recommended.
