THE EXPLORATORIUM SCIENCE SNACKBOOK SERIES

"Clear, concise, and visual—the best assortment of wonder– filled ideas I have seen. A must–have." —Paul Hewitt, author of Conceptual Physics

Now you can do your own version of 25 Exploratorium experiments on light and color. All you need is a little curiosity, a few simple materials . . . and this book. Each experiment is easy to do, fully illustrated, and loaded with advice, ideas, helpful hints, and eye–popping discoveries.

Learn why the sky is blue but sunsets are red. Make strange, beautiful shapes appear with mirrors, tape, and cardboard. Through these and other projects in The Magic Wand, learn the science behind the mystery of light and color.

San Francisco′s EXPLORATORIUM, source of the best–selling Explorabook, hosts half a million visitors each year.
