Book Description
A NOTE TO PARENTS AND TEACHERSThis book attempts to help children become interested in the study of the sciences while teaching them rudimentary principles. It does this by stripping away some of the mysteries associated with science and technology.Scientific and mathematical principles presented as magic or puzzles have an allure that appeals to many children, even those with marginal scientific interests. This book was written to show children that science and math can be fun and exciting, as well as useful. It will: - make the pursuit of science a game that children will want to play- be a useful tool to children, allowing them to learn to express themselves in public through the performance of magic tricks- help them to develop a knowledge of the psychology of working with people- by the very nature of the performance, help them to learn to think on their feet
