This creative teaching source helps children develop a hands-on appreciation of physics through toy-based activities. It features ready-to-use activities and more than 40 experiments comparing how toys move on Earth and how they move in space. NASA astronauts have performed similar experiments on space shuttle missions, and activities based on these NASA simulations are included here. New activites include drinking liquids in space, playing with bubbles, making and landing a shuttle model and planning a space station. This revised edition inclues more activities, reproducible activity sheets and complete lesson plans and all the activities form lessons in physics. It should encourage scientific prediction and verification.
