Experiments and Crafts in Physics

Is it possible to explain such complex physical phenomena as atmospheric pressure, different states of water, or the expansion and contraction of bodies due to heating in a way that is simple for a school student? The author of this... collection of experiments and crafts, V. Smirnov, believes it is possible — with the help of simple experiments that any student can conduct at home. Understanding the principles of atmospheric pressure, one can create, for example, a drinking device for a pet corner or a kite. The properties of communicating vessels will suggest how to organize a fountain on the table, and a small boat or watermill can be easily built using knowledge about the force of water.
Step-by-step instructions for assembling the crafts are accompanied by illustrations that facilitate the student's work process.
