Paperback. Physics has the reputation of being difficult to understand and remote from everyday life. This book presents a collection of physics demonstrations and experiments that prove that physics can, in fact, be 'made simple.' It uses 'low tech' and inexpensive materials from everyday life to make key principles of physics easy to understand. Num Pages: 208 pages, 2 halftones 111 line illus. 2 tables.
