## Description

From School Library Journal
        	
        	
        		
        		
	        		
						
			        		Grade 3-5. These demonstrations and activities won&apos;t propel young scientists off the planet, but they do, simply and often artfully, explore our universe&apos;s structure and underlying physical principles, as well as some of the challenges facing space travelers. Using such materials as toothpicks, rubber bands, and drinking straws, Wiese puts gravity, Newton&apos;s first law (inertia), the gyroscopic effect, the Doppler effect, and other phenomena through their paces. He explores the effects of zero-g on astronauts&apos; bones and eating habits and provides directions for making a balloon rocket, a cardboard robot arm, a vinegar-and-baking-soda launcher, and even a very small comet, all with helpful line drawings and, where appropriate, boldface cautionary advice. Some projects, such as one that involves growing seedlings on a revolving turntable for three weeks, do veer toward the impractical, or, like &quot;Postcards from Another Planet,&quot; are more spin than substance, but they are balanced by a fair number of winners: unroll an entire roll of toilet tissue, call each square a tenth of an astronomical unit, place markers where each planet would go, and voila &quot;Toilet Paper Planets.&quot; A low-tech companion to books like David McKay&apos;s Space Science Projects for Young Scientists (Watts, 1986).?John Peters, New York Public LibraryCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

			        		Gr. 4^-6. In an engaging style, this book introduces astronomy and space technology through a series of down-to-earth projects. Wiese demonstrates that it doesn&apos;t take high-tech equipment to play around with the principles of gravity, orbits, living in space, travel to the moon and the planets, and observation of the stars. Each activity includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, and an explanation of what&apos;s happening and how it applies to space science. Line drawings illustrate the text. A good resource for elementary school science teachers and for middle-grade students seeking simple science fair projects. Carolyn Phelan
