Kids always seem to have energy to burn. This involving book from "OWL" tells them where it comes from. "Light Magic" introduces readers to sources of energy in their lives: sun and wind, heat, sound and motion, and electrical and chemical sources. Each lively double-page spread offers kids hands-on activities or experiments exploring energy's causes and effects. They'll find fun and easy instructions for making a light bulb, a working model hovercraft, an amazing moving ball that stops and goes on command, and more.

The book concludes with three absorbing experiments, each demonstrating different aspects of energy: a wind tunnel to test aerodynamics, a solar marshmallow roaster, and a board game that lights up when players give the correct answers. Every section is illuminated by eye-catching full color photographs and illustrations.

Written by two leading Canadian science educators, "Light Magic" is a fabulous source of information and ideas for fun at home and projects at school. Best of all, it encourages kids to focus their energy on exciting and creative activities.
