Making and Breaking : Science with Solids and Liquids

Providing an introduction to science, this series presents concepts gradually and simply, and backs them up with experiments and activities that are designed to be both straightforward and enjoyable.

The illustrated step-by-step projects are accompanied by colour photographs of real places and objects. This book investigates materials, both natural and artificial, and how they can change or be changed.

The activities include building a rocket powered by a chemical reaction, and making a rubber-powered machine.
