Hands-on experiments in how the senses can be fooled
More than 70 activities invite children to test illusions involving sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. The experiments range from sensory puzzles with everyday materials to demonstrations involving sound, flavor, and visual perception. Each activity is paired with a “Why You’re Fooled” explanation that connects the apparent trick to scientific ideas and historical context. Revised with new illustrations and design, the book frames anatomy and perception as something to investigate directly: the senses supply information, but that information can be surprising or misleading.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Kids interested in science activities and experiments
- Young readers curious about the five senses and perception
- Families, classrooms, or groups seeking hands-on science projects
