Science, Nature & How It Works

Good Year Books

A Selection of the Scientific American Book ClubProfiling 50 of the world’s most popular playthingsincluding their history, trivia, and the technology involvedthis guide uncovers the hidden science of toys. Discover how an Etch A Sketch writes on its gray screen, why a boomerang returns after it is thrown, and how an RC car responds to a remote control device. Leaving no detail unrevealed, the guide includes original patent-application blueprints and photos of the guts” of several devices. Inventors and museum curators also offer their observations of favorite gizmos while dispelling (or confirming) several toy legends. Complete with explanations of do-it-yourself experiments and tips on reverse engineering old toys to observe their interior mechanics, this entertaining and informative reference even provides pointers on how budding toy makers can build their own toys using only recycled materials and a little ingenuity.

"These rocket-building activities challenge students to work in teams like NASA engineers - they make and test models as they measure, record data and graph and report results. There are 25 demonstrations and 16 models, all with clear guidelines and science standards to be met. They require only inexpensive or free recycled materials."
