Physics for Fun is a 60 page book containing a range of design and make projects for children aged 7-14. The book also contains explanations of the physics behind the projects. Creative use of recycled, cheap and everyday items makes the projects accessible to children working at home. The projects are also popular with teachers (supporting and illustrating much of the Key Stage 2-3 physics curricula), STEM clubs, Cubs & Scouts. The earlier part of the book contains mechanical projects, whilst the electrical projects are grouped together in the latter part of the book. The same electrical parts are re-used wherever possible to minimise costs. Many of the electrical parts are also used in Technology for Fun 2.
