Books with title Simple science experiments with marbles

The word "screw" calls to mind the unassuming household connectors, but students will be interested to discover that there are many different kinds of screws, from large augers and mechanical drill presses to the lids of plastic jars! With readable text and an emphasis on practical application, this book explores the many ways that we use screws every day. The text is supplemented with clear, easy-to-understand diagrams, and illustrative photographs, while straightforward experiments involving household items will excite curiosity about this helpful, yet often overlooked, device.

A chisel, which uses a sharp blade to split an object apart, is an excellent example of a wedge. Simple machines are everywhere, and this visually appealing book uses practical examples and easy-to-understand text to illustrate some of the many ways that we use wedges everyday. Reluctant readers will be excited to use household objects to conduct the experiments illustrating the physics behind this extraordinary simple machine.

Bicycles, seesaws, pulleys, and screws are examples of simple machines that we encounter almost every day, though we rarely stop to consider the science behind them. With easy-to-understand text and experiments, this series explains the mechanics of simple machines in a way that engages reluctant readers, while also placing each machine within its historical and cultural context. Clear, colorful images add to the reader’s understanding of the every day applications of each simple machine, and a list of further reading will satisfy curious readers.
