SHAR LEVINE AND LESLIE JOHNSTONE

Get good vibrations as you work through these science projects devoted to the nature of sound. Using materials commonly found around the house, students learn how sound moves, how animals such as bats and dolphins use echolocation, how sound can break glass, and why your nose plays such an important role in the noise that comes out of your mouth. Many pictures guide you through the steps of each activity. Sidebars offer further information on the science behind each demonstration. Originally published in hardcover in 2000. Sterling, 2002, 80 p., color photos/illus., paperback, $10.95.
