The Physics of Popcorn: Discover and Learn with 22 Experiments

Description

Get ready to play (and learn!) with your food! Discover how electricity is made, learn about the inner workings of atoms and conduct experiments with making waves, and more. Become a Kitchen Scientist by grasping gases using a home-made hot air balloon, learning about light to recreate a rainbow and mastering momentum with model cars! The Physics of Popcorn uses applied science for a fun and interactive approach to learning for the whole family. It is part of The Curious World of Kitchen Science series. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 10-16.

"As someone who avoids physics (especially waves and light) this book was an excellent find. Dr Aidan Randle-Conde takes you on an exciting adventure to explore key concepts in physics in an easy-to-understand, friendly manner using lots of brightly coloured diagrams and mini explanations. The book is also organised in an approachable way that makes it very easy to find information." -- Renee Rees * Teaching Science 76(4) *
