Robert Gardner, "Famous Experiments You Can Do"
Franklin Watts | 1990 | ISBN: 053110883X | 142 pages | Djvu | 3,5 MB
Demonstrates scientific principles in the fields of chemistry and physics by replicating experiments performed by such scientists as Archimedes, Galileo, Antoine Lavoisier, and Sir Isaac Newton.
From School Library Journal
Gardner is the master of the science experiment book, and this volume reinforces that reputation. The demonstrations are based on celebrated experiments performed by the likes of Galileo, Newton, Lavoisier, and Harvey. Many are drawn from physics and as a result rely heavily on mathematics. The equipment required, with a few exceptions, can be found among household items. Black-and-white diagrams illustrating the appropriate set-ups accompany a number of the experiments. A listing of further reading is included, although several of the titles may be too old to be found on library shelves. The writing and content are reminiscent of those found in books of the 1950s and '60s, when such titles were written on an advanced level, and allow Gardner to explore some often overlooked themes such as latent heat and electrolysis. In an era when authors too often repackage tired experiments like the vinegar and baking soda routine, Gardner is one of the few writers willing to explore sophisticated themes. An excellent source book for teachers as well as for students. --Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC
