Jan 30: LIGHT EXPERIMENTS FOR BOYS (and girls too!)

on January 30, 2009


Gilbert LIGHT EXPERIMENTS FOR BOYS (PDF ebook) – Classic 1909 book of way cool experiments and science lessons about light, and how it works. Literally tons of neat activities and projects that will keep young scientists busy for weeks!

From the introduction:
“The things that are most common are often the ones that people know the least about. This is true of light. Few boys have ever taken the trouble to get the essential facts about this subject. But you can
realize how important it is when you realize that without the sun – our main source of light – there would be no life at all….”

GREAT, fun stuff!

    Interesting how this old book title reveals that young women/girls were never encouraged in scientific endeavor.
