title: Smash It! Crash It! Launch It!: 50 Mind-Blowing, Eye-Popping Science Experiments
author:  Rain Newcomb 
description: Grade 4-8Science teachers will find entertaining ways to impress their students with Newton's laws if they're willing to break a few eggs as described in this engaging book. The study of physics becomes appealing when combined with marshmallow catapults, potato popguns, and water-balloon launchers. The authors provide a brief explanation of the physical principles involved and emphasize that cleanup is required on some of the messier projects. The overarching terms are emphasized in boldface in the short What's Going On? section included with each experiment. Humorous cartoon illustrations and sketchy templates supplement the descriptions of how to set up the projects. Typical household ingredients like straws, pop bottles, fruits, and lots of eggs are the materials required, and then the fun begins. While these experiments are more about their wow factor than their hard science, there are lessons to be learned by building fettuccine bridges and flipping water buckets.<i>Janet S.
