Pressestimmen
"Knowing something of the often exhausting business of science outreach and how long it takes to produce a five-minute demonstration, I recognize the huge effort that must have gone into this book... The book is a job well done, and I recommend it for anyone trying to get physics across to non-specialist audiences." -- Chris Waltham, Physics Today
Kurzbeschreibung
How do you make a clock out of an ice cube? Send messages using bubbles? Make money using a tube that waltzes? This collection of curious and offbeat science experiments provides the answers to these and 36 other questions. Accomplished physicist and science writer Neil A. Downie covers a range of phenomena, from the rocking and rolling that drives a waltzing tube; to the fluid mechanics of a coffee-cup rev counter and biceps made from balloons; to the simple chemistry of red-hot batteries and wet solar cells. For each experiment, he provides historical anecdotes about the relevant phenomena, a list of equipment, detailed instructions, and a full explanation - requiring only high-school mathematics - of the science behind the procedure. For those intrigued by any experiment, he includes follow-up suggestions, which describe ways to tinker with the initial "recipe". This collection of lively experiments, with complete explanations and simple mathematics, will appeal to high-school science teachers, inveterate tinkerers, amateur scientists, or anyone looking for a project for the next science fair.

PHYSICS TODAY magazine liked the book, says author
15. Oktober 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This is what the world's leading physics magazine said about Ink Sandwiches (abbreviated).
"At the University of British Columbia, we are always on the lookout for suitable projects that are eye-catching, inexpensive, and yet pedagogically solid. Ink Sandwiches, Electric Worms, and 37 Other Experiments for Saturday Science by Neil Downie has many good ideas.
The projects are pitched at a level such that a physicist can reproduce them in a few hours' work at home with commonly available materials. Alternatively, with some supervision, a student could also build the projects for a science fair or undergraduate course. The science will appeal to a broad age range. Fairly young audiences (elementary and middle school students) will like the demonstrations, with the addition of numerical analysis, they are also appropriate for grades 11 and 12 and for first-year undergraduates. Occasionally, the science and math section provides a note of uncertainty as to exactly why we see what we see - something I quite like.
Knowing something of the often exhausting business of scientific outreach and how long it takes to produce a five-minute demonstration, I recognize the huge effort that must have gone into this book. The book is a job well done and I recommend it for anyone trying to get physics across to non-specialist audiences."

Excellent!

Format:Taschenbuch
Ink Sandwiches, Electric Worms, and 37 Other Experiments for Saturday Science is a great book. Good experiments with detailed explantions. One downfall might be a little complicated for grades 1-8.
