Summary: "Presents science experiments based on a yo-yo, wind wagon, cork sailboat, inverted tumbler, Cartesian diver, and hang glider which the experimenter makes himself and then changes as he tests scientific data." Bound in the original green cloth, stamped in black on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Here is an invitation to experimental fun, with projects designed to develop model building creativity. Young experimenters are encouraged to try different variables, to discover what leads to the most successful model. Does a yo-yo have to be round? What happens if you change the string material? Make a wind wagon, a cork sailboat, or a hang glider, then try making changes and see what happens. How much weight can you attach to an inverted tumbler full of water? How fast can you recover th3e 'treasure' with a Cartesian diver? Each project is a challenge. All can be built from easily obtained and inexpensive materials.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine jacket. 8vo. 128pp.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
