This book is written for people who tend to sit toward the back of the classroom during scientific lectures. It assumes that students remember nothing of what happened in their science classes. The book is divided into seven sections: (1) Magnetism; (2) Bending Light Waves; (3) Bacterial Stories; (4) Light Wave Craziness; (5) Homemade Science; (6) Bouncing Light Rays; and (7) Optical Illusions. Except for the section titled Homemade Science, each section contains the special tools needed for the more than 50 science activities described. (PR)
