Paperback. Condizione: new. Davila, Claudia (illustratore). Paperback. The world of science is often described as magical -- but is magic itself scientific? You bet! Once again award-winning author Helaine Becker teams up with illustrator Claudia Davila to unleash her special brand of humour and information on young readers. 'Magic Up Your Sleeve' is the third book in the loosely constructed series of science activity books from the pair; it follows hot on the heels of NAPPA-winning 'Science on the Loose and 2009's The Insecto-files'. Only this time around, the duo reveals the science hidden in magic tricks! Helaine uses dozens of activities to show how the world of magic manipulates simple scientific principles of illusion and perception to leave audiences baffled. Each activity has been tested, is clearly explained, and designed to provide quick results using a handful of common household materials. Helaine even includes a difficulty rating beside each trick to help young magicians decide where to begin. AUTHOR: Helaine Becker has published in children's genres all the way from humorous verse to educational textbooks. Helaine's knack for blending humour and education into a satisfying package that both delights and informs is recognized by critics and booksellers across North America.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Dávila, Claudia (illustratore). Paperback. Infused with Helaine Becker's trademark wit and irrepressible energy, "Science on the Loose" encourages young readers to release their inner scientist so that they can think, do, and learn in the most entertaining way possible.
