Download or read book The Racecar Book written by Bobby Mercer and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though students aren’t yet old enough to drive, that doesn’t mean they can’t satisfy their need for speed. Author and physics teacher Bobby Mercer will show readers 25 easy-to-build racecars that can be driven both indoors and out. Better still, each of these vehicles is constructed for little or no cost using recycled and repurposed materials. The Racecar Book will teach readers how to use mousetraps, rubber bands, chemical reactions, gravity, and air pressure to power these fast-moving cars. They will learn how to turn a potato chip can, a rubber band, and weights into a Chip-Can Dancer, or retrofit a toy car with a toy plane propeller to make an air-powered Prop Car. An effervescent tablet in a small canister makes an impressive rocket engine for a Mini Pop Car, and old CDs, a small cardboard food box, and drinking straws become a Mac-n-Cheese Roller. Every hands-on project contains a materials list and detailed step-by-step instructions. Mercer also includes explanations of the science behind each racecar, including concepts such as friction, Newton’s laws of motion, kinetic and potential energy, and more. Teachers will appreciate the opportunity to augment their STEM curricula while having fun at the same time. These projects are also perfect for science fairs or design competitions. Bobby Mercer has been a high school physics teacher for over two decades. He is the author of The Flying Machine Book and Smash It! Crash It! Launch It! and lives with his family outside of Asheville, North Carolina.

We find an experiment to match what we are learning. Everything is in the bag, minus perishables, and we're all set to go! All my kids participate and I'm not running all over the house gathering supplies. ~ Pearlita M.It's a bit of work at first, but if you do a little each day and share the work with a group of friends you are done! You've got science experiments for a year (except for a few perishables) ready to go. You can dig deeper by getting books at the library. ~ Bobbie B.This is an inexpensive way to add hands on work to your science curriculum. I love that each person has to focus on supplies for ONE experiment, yet you get 20 for the effort! ~ Kelly P.We LOVED the Science experiments! They are so perfect for my little scientists who can't yet read well; I only need read them the instructions, which are very simple and easy to understand, and they can set off to experiment. They have enjoyed most of them very much, but the ones they REALLY enjoy, they remember how to do and ask to do them on their own over and over. The kits have been great as summer or school break activities, and I've been able to use several to match up to what we are studying, making it so easy for me to prepare a science lesson. For children who are reading and writing well, these would be great independent lessons too! ~ Lisa W.The bags were easy to assemble; and I can't wait for the other experiments to do with my children. ~ Karen G.These science experiments are really cool things to do with your kids during summer break. At least from my experience, I think both my 2 year old and my 8 year old would enjoy this experiment (on different levels of course). ~ Becky S.These are great experiments for young children to be hands on. They can also be adapted to fit the needs of many skill levels. ~ Wendy C.It's worth the time and effort, and a great way to get your kids to learn and be fascinated with the world God created. My daughter loves doing experiments and she can't wait to do more at home. Experiments in a Bag are perfect for our family! ~ Sue R.The experiments that we have tried have been fun and easy to do. My kids are always excited to try a new experiment and I try to let them assemble all the items necessary to do the experiment so they are active participants in the experiment. This is a great fun and quick activity to do with my kids that is also educational. ~ Debbie M.
Download or read book An Experiment in Home Education Classic Reprint written by Mr. And Mrs. George Wallingford Noyes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experiment in Home Education During the years 1911 and 1912, through much alternation of theory and experience, we groped our way into a plan of home-making, that seemed to us to posses a high order of educational and economic value. In April, 1912, we commenced an experimental test of our plan. As time has passed, and the success of our experiment has become apparent, we have talked about it with leading educators and economists. Recently there have been references to it in the public press, and we have received many inquiries. We are therefore stating briefly in this paper the purpose of our home experiment, and its results to the present time. Educational Advantages of the Home Many thinkers have recognized that in certain respects the home has a natural educational advantage over the school, and that in order to attain the best results the home, as well as the school, must play its part. One educational advantage of the home is in the cultivation of a habit of industry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
