Surprising and seemingly impossible effects result from the 40 experiments included in this fascinating science resource—all with a concise explanation of the underlying magnetic physics. Each experiment—such as using a common refrigerator magnet to create a three-dimensional image or floating a magnet and carbon sheet in midair—is outlined with step-by-step instructions and diagrams that illustrate the key concepts of magnetism. Even the most experienced science teacher or at-home tinkerer will find dozens of new tricks in this amazing collection. Great for students. Clearly written and easy to understand with lots of good photos. 2007
