Book excerpt: A learned mathematician of the seventeenth century, Ozanam by name, a member of the Academy of Sciences and author of several distinguished works, did not think it derogatory to his dignity to write, under the title of "Mathematical and Physical Recreations," a book designed for the amusement of youth, in which science lends itself to every pastime, even jugglery and tricks of legerdemain. "Jeux d'esprit" says Ozanam, "are for all seasons and all ages; they instruct the young, they amuse the old, they are welcomed by the rich, and are not above the reach of the poor." The object of the book now presented to the reader is also to instruct while it amuses, but we have not thought proper to make use, as Ozanam did, of any physical feats, so called amusing. Such do not constitute experiments, and are but ingenious deceptions, intended to disguise the true mode of operation, and we have not desired to make use of or popularise such methods. We wish, on the contrary, that every game we describe, every pastime or amusement of which we give the exposition, should be rigorously based on the scientific method, and looked upon as a genuine exercise in physics, chemistry, mechanics, or natural science. It does not appear to us desirable to teach deception, even in play. Science in the open air, in the fields, in the sunshine, is our first study; we point out how, in the country, it is possible, pleasantly and unceasingly, to occupy one's leisure in observing nature, in capturing insects or aquatic animals, or in noting atmospheric phenomena. We next teach a complete course of physics without any apparatus, and point out the methods for studying the different phenomena[Pg v] of heat, light, optics, and electricity, by means of a simple water-bottle, tumbler, stick of sealing-wax, and other ordinary objects, such as everyone has at hand.

This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in the late 1800s, this is a book of simple-to-perform scientific experiments, designed to interest children in science. The experiments in the book, ' have been designed to be at once entertaining and illustrative of scientific laws; they can be carried out successfully by anyone who follows the instructions carefully'. All the experiments can be performed at home with the minimum of materials. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Electrical Experiments - Experiments with Heat - Experiments with Light - Experiments with Sound - Experiments in Physics - Experiments in Chemistry - Some Optical Illusions - Tricks with Matches and Numerals - Miscellaneous Experiments and Tricks

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Scientific Recreations in Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry A series of chemical experiments, performed by means of some phials and inexpensive appliances, completes that part of the book relating to the physical sciences. Another kind of recreation, both intelligent and useful, consists in collecting the ingenious inventions which are constantly being supplied to our requirements by the applied sciences, and learning how to use them. We have collected a number of mechanical inventions and appliances, with which most ingenious and skilful people will wish to supply themselves, from Edison's electric pen, or the chromograph, which will produce a large number of copies of a letter, drawing, etc., to the more complicated, but not less valuable contrivances, for making science useful in the house. Having described some scientific toys for the young, we have endeavoured to point out those interesting to persons of riper years, and have grouped together curious sytems of locomotion, and ingenious mechanical appliances, such as small steam-boats, iceboats, swimming apparatus, etc., under proper heads. In addition to the foregoing subjects, we have included some of the experimental details of Chemical Science, with illustrations. We have added a chapter upon Aerial Navigation and Ballooning, with anecdotes of some of our celebrated aeronauts. We have also enlarged upon Light, Sound, Heat, Physical Geography, Mineralogy, Geology, Electrical Appliances, the Electric Light, and most of the latest adaptations of electricity. It will be seen, therefore, that the present work is not only intended for the young; everyone, it is hoped, will find in it something interesting and also profitable, which, if not desired for self-instruction, may at any rate be turned to account as a means of teaching others that science, which is universal, can, when rightly apprehended, preside even over our pleasures and amusements.
