This book shows how physics relates to daily life. Chapters included are: (1) "Physics of Fun" (dealing with the concepts of friction, Bernoulli's principle, lift, buoyancy, adhesion, cohesion, surface tension, gas expansion, waves, light, mirror images, and solar cells); (2) "Physics of Nature" (illustrating the concepts of inertia, static electricity, magnetic fields, echoes, spectrum, color and scattering); (3) "Physics at Home" (describing conductors and insulators, viscosity, pressure, levers, transformers, and the electromagnetic spectrum); and (4) "Physics of Sports" (discussing the center of gravity, elasticity, centripetal force, electric circuits, and action/reaction forces). At the end of each chapter, several activities are introduced. A glossary, index, list of science museums, and a list of additional reading materials are appended. (YP)
