101 physics tricks: Fun experiments with everyday materials

by Terry Cash

"A brief, clear explanation of basic principles related to the subject, and discussion of the devices that may be used to demonstrate those laws. Directions for conducting the experiments are easy to follow, and the accompanying full-color diagrams and illustrations are large and nicely labeled....The organization and the clarity...make it a particularly worthwhile resource."—Booklist. "The activities are relatively simple and utilize readily obtained materials...Cash encourages an open-ended approach....The attractive, clear presentation and nice balance of information on basic scientific principles and related technological developments make this appealing."—SLJ. 104 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 X 11.

[Phil J]

This book was published in 1992, but looks like it's from 1978. The illustrations are ugly and the pages are crowded. The formatting is so jumbled that it's hard to know what order you're supposed to read the paragraphs in. The activities are ambitious and not adequately explained.

It might as well be an Usborne book. Lots of experiments that I would never do presented horribly. Yes, once upon a time, I purchased a slew of really bad books. When I sat down with them to create lessons, I realized there was nothing there for me.
