The Magic Fact Machine: Science: Gives the Right Answer Every Time

By Jay Young

Book Overview

With a spinning machine that's a wizard at answering the most popular science questions--and making them fun, too--learning about everything from gravity to gases turns into a can't-wait-to-play game. Kids, already inquisitive about how things around us work, will absolutely delight at having a range of science facts right at their fingertips. They'll happily put the pointer on questions like these: Why can many animals hear higher-pitched sounds than we do? What causes static? When we fall down and cut ourselves, why do we get a scar? How does a refrigerator work--or a hurricane form? As they take a magical mystery tour through science--from the planets high in the sky to dinosaur fossils deep in the earth--kids will turn into budding science buffs eager to get the lowdown on energy and heat, light and sound, magnetism and electricity, computers and communication, earth science, living things and their history, life zones, and our own selves.

Magic Fact book

This is such a cool book. My high school students loved it. If you are buying one....make sure to ask the seller if the finger is included!!! The book is no good if it does not come with the magnetic magic finger that points to the correct answers!
