The Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science by Sean Connolly + Experiments to try at home!


AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence
in Science Books award for HANDS ON SCIENCE BOOK goes to
The Book of Potentially Catastrophic Science by Sean Connolly (Workman, 2010)  
This most prestigious award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will be given to Sean on Saturday, February 19.  I was sent 2 downloadable experiments from the book to share with my readers!  This book was meant to come out as a lead-in to science fair season. 


Activity 1: Wilburs Flying Machine - Kids of all ages will have a blast learning how to steer a plane by changing the folds in a paper airplane wing.

Activity 2: Barnards Heartbeat - Get some firsthand evidence of how the heart works. 


These were sent to me as pdf files, so if you are interested in either of these experiments, please email somommy247@gmail.com and I will email them to you as quick as I can!
