Science with Magnets
This lively book is packed with
exciting scientific activities designed to help young children explore the
intriguing properties of magnetism. All the experiments and tricks are safe
and easy to carry out, using ordinary household equipment and simple magnets.
Real examples show how magnetism is used in hiker's compasses, door catches,
cranes and so on. Usborne Science Activities is an innovative series which
responds to the growing emphasis on scientific exploration for children. The
text and illustrations are clear and simple, so children can enjoy using the
books by themselves. Further notes give more detailed explanations for
adults who wish to work with their children. Ages 6-9. 8.25" x
8.25" 24 pages.

Awesome
Experiments in Electricity and Magnetism
These simple, fun
experiments in magnetism and electricity will get kids all charged up. Test
out a kitchen magnet and watch what it attracts; "light the light" with a
fluorescent bulb and a piece of wool; "see" invisible magnetic fields and
find the strongest part of the magnet; paste things together with static
glue; make your TV screen snap, crackle, and pop; and transmit Morse
code--with a station you build yourself! Almost all the materials are easy
to find in the house or inexpensive to buy, and each experiment has a
section that explains the underlying scientific principles--plus, they're
all safe. It's absolutely electrifying! Ages 9 and up. 160
pages.

The
Magnet Book
Find out all about magnetic fields by trying all 39 of these "magnetic
magic" tricks, games, and experiments. Discover what sticks to a magnet and
what doesn't. Count how many paper clips your magnet will pick up. Then get
two magnets and create a variety of dazzling magnetic fields. Make one end
of your magnet attract objects and the other end push them away. Take a
picture of magnetic "suntan lines" with iron filings and light-sensitive
paper. You can even build your own electromagnet with a piece of wire, a
nail, and a battery, then make it ring a bell, turn a wheel, pick up
objects, and much more. Scientist,
magician, entertainer--they're all in store for you when you enter the
mysterious world of magnets! Ages 8 and up. 8.5" x 10" 80
pages.
