By working as a scientist does, you can find out the answers to these and many more questions about balls. Here are fascinating experiments that will help you to discover for yourself why and how balls differ, and what makes each kind of ball act the way it does.

HAVE A BALL provides an entertaining and thought-provoking introduction to many principles of physics. By performing the stimulating experiments in this book, every youngster can "have a ball" while teaching himself scientific methods and concepts.
