In six chapters--Builders, Creating Shapes, Building with Threads, From Sand to Glass, Matter in Motion, and Fractures--the authors present brief stories, set in locales ranging from the Eiffel Tower to a sandcastle, that illustrate the little wonders hidden in the ordinary. A simple experiment that readers can perform at home concludes each story. More than 200 illustrations bring the stories to life."--Front cover flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530 Gu Item being held Add Copy to MyList
