When science meets magic, fun is the outcome! Entertain yourself and your friends while learning the physical properties of water using tricks that seem to defy gravity and logic. You’ll discover how—and why—water won’t fall from a glass held upside-down, why water and salt can make the same object sink, float, or stick like glue! Clear explanations provide the reason behind the trick, so your young magician will be turned on to science by a slight of his or her own hand. What better way to capture the imagination and love of learning than through the magic of magic. Presto, change-o, away we go!
Ahoy, mateys! Let’s head to the shore!
