Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


In the third book in Cy Tymony's Sneaky Uses series you will learn how to turn a piece of paper into a Frisbee, a business card into a boomerang, a TV tray into a robot, and more.

Beginning with a complete list of materials and continuing through easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions paired with helpful illustrations, most projects will be completed in just minutes using common items found around the house.

Teachers, parents, scout leaders, and enterprising youngsters will use their ingenuity to turn ordinary, everyday objects into something extraordinary, like a pencil into a microphone, Walkman ear buds into an intercom, or a telephone cord into a motor. The book also includes bonus alternative-energy projects and a foreword by NPR's Science Friday host Ira Flatow.

Synopsis:

Science-savvy author Tymony shows readers how to transform ordinary objects into the extraordinary, and how to create more than 40 handy gadgets and gizmos for almost any situation, including survival, security, self-defense, and silly applications that are just plain fun.

I didn't know weather to laugh or just be totally amazed at this book! It's amazing what the human mind can think to create out of very little. You will find this book hard to put down and I'm sure your mind will be saying "I know someone who would love to have this book!"
