Synopsis

Based on the experiments at NASA astronauts have performed on space shuttle missions, the activities in this book help children learn how toys work on earth and in space. In this way, children develop a hands-on appreciation of physics and how it affects our lives. This book features a wide range of experiments- A balloon helicopter that illustrates gyroscopic stability and lift; A slinky that demonstrates wave motion; Swimmer toys that prove Newton's Third Law of Motion; A tippy top that shows centre of mass; A ball and cup toy that demonstrates inertia; Magnetic rings that teach the effects of magnetism and inverse square law; A spring jumper that uses air pressure. After completing each experiment in the context of Earth's environment, young scientists predict the result of the same experiment in space. Official NASA test results are included, so students can compare their hypotheses to what actually happened on space shuttle missions.
