Why does a tuning fork ring out a musical note? How does a simple telescope bring distant things closer? What does wind speed actually tell you about the weather? This is a book for finding out by doing rather than just reading about it, with hands-on experiments covering sound and hearing, light and colour, and weather and climate. Each activity is easy to follow, supported by photos and illustrations, a list of what's needed, and safety and troubleshooting tips along the way.
