Reseña del editor
You can make fascinating scientific discoveries everywhere. After all, didn't Newton discover gravity when he was hit on the head by an apple, and didn't Einstein make a breakthrough about relativity by studying why a train whistle sounds lower in pitch as it moves away from you? Even if these are myths, apparently trivial happenings and everyday objects can reveal amazing phenomena in the hundreds of experiments featured in this huge collection. With simple, short texts and a clear illustration to go with every experiment, you'll find out why apple trees in full bloom are more beautiful on one side than another (the south side of a tree gets more sunlight than the north side and usually has fuller foliage and more blooms); see why the dial tone disappears if you press the telephone cradle three times; why area rugs that you place on top of a wall-to-wall carpet move in one direction when you walk on them; why pulling a sled with a long rope is easier than with a short rope. You don't need to be smart to carry out these experiments, just curious enough and open-minded enough to look for facts even when they appear to go against common sense.
