Turn a plastic cup into a pinhole camera using waxed paper, a rubber band, and a thumbtack. Build a swinging wave machine using a series of washers suspended on strings from a yardstick. Or construct your own planetarium from an empty potato chip canister, construction paper, scissors, and a pin. Each project has a materials list, detailed step-by-step instructions with illustrations, and a brief explanation of the scientific principle being demonstrated. Junk Drawer Physics also includes sidebars of fascinating physics facts, such as did you know the Eiffel Tower is six inches taller in summer than in winter because its steel structure expands in the heat? Educators and parents will find this title a handy resource to teach children about physics topics that include magnetism, electricity, force, motion, light, energy, sound, and more, and have fun at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBobby Mercer\u003c\/b\u003e is a high school physics teacher and the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Flying Machine Book\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow Do You Light a Fart?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eQuarterback Dad\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSmash It!
