Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This fascinating collection of simple and inexpensive experiments focuses on the principles of soil mechanics. The experiments in this volume are guaranteed to delight students from elementary school to college while teaching them about science and the behavior of soil. From turning soil into fluid to making water flow uphill, each experiment conveys a principle of science through a mysterious and captivating "magic trick." The included CD-ROM provides videos of actual experiments and their results.

This book is a must-have for science teachers, engineering professors, or anyone who wants to make science and engineering fun and easily accessible.
