THEO GRAY’S MAD SCIENCE: EXPERIMENTS YOU CAN DO AT HOME - BUT PROBABLY SHOULDN’T

Book ID/图书代码： 08B24945

English Summary/英文概要： Watch subatomic radioactive particles dance in a cloud chamber. Mix sodium and chlorine to create a smoke that will salt a suspended bag of popcorn. Build a liquid battery out of copper sulfate. Mix 500 pounds of quicklime with water to create a homemade hot tub. Save a perfect snowflake in Superglue—forever! Trap lightning in a block. Launch a rocket with a Snickers bar. Use liquid nitrogen to make a quick gallon of ice cream. These are just a few of the 52 extreme experiments presented by Popular Science columnist Theodore Gray.
Every experiment is accompanied by awe-inspiring photographs that take the reader right inside the science just as it’s happening.
Not only are the experiments thrilling and visually arresting, but each one demonstrates a fascinating principle of elemental science. Gray’s writing is fresh, hip, and makes the science easy for anyone to understand.
The ultimate book for anyone, ages 18 to 80, who has ever tinkered with something he shouldn’t, set off the smoke detector every time he’s been in the garage, or is fascinated by all things explosive.
