"In short, Life Is Simple is enthralling."--Michael Blastland, Prospect A biologist argues that simplicity is the guiding principle of the universe Centuries ago, the principle of Ockham’s razor changed our world by showing simpler answers to be preferable and more often true. In Life Is Simple, scientist Johnjoe McFadden traces centuries of discoveries, taking us from a geocentric cosmos to quantum mechanics and DNA, arguing that simplicity has revealed profound answers to the greatest mysteries. This is no coincidence. From the laws that keep a ball in motion to those that govern evolution, simplicity, he claims, has shaped the universe itself. And in McFadden’s view, life could only have emerged by embracing maximal simplicity, making the fundamental law of the universe a cosmic form of natural selection that favors survival of the simplest. Recasting both the history of science and our universe’s origins, McFadden transforms our understanding of ourselves and our world.
Science experiments are fun for every age--especially when there is a surprise in each one. 365 Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials includes clever and core concept building projects perfect for a year of hands-on learning. Get ready to make things fizz, bounce, ooze and surprise you, young scientist! Keeping an emphasis on learning safely, 365 Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials is an illustrated entertaining guide to easy-to-do projects that convey basic science concepts, terms and methods while empowering kids to explore further on their own. From making invisible ink to building a weather station, these simple experiments are designed to inspire curiosity while instilling critical thinking skills. Projects include a bubble blower, a bottle barometer, an undersea water fountain, a directional compass, rock candy, and a rainbow. Through these engaging experiments kids learn about gravity, electricity, magnification, magnetism, oxidation, and more. Whether your young STEM / STEAM genius is preparing for a school science fair or just eager to know more about the world, 365 Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials is a great activity book at any time.
