Explorabook
de Cassidy, John. · Publicada por primera vez en 1991
This exploratory book is a compact museum and a fun lab in itself. It rightly claims to contain a Kids' Science Museum not only to be read but to be practically explored. This Explorabook has over 50 activities plus the tools to do nearly all of them. All that the reader needs to supply is the world around us, and a little curiosity. Even those students who dread science lectures will not only start taking interest in them but will begin to understand them easily. The book is the winner of Parents' Choice Award by the Parents' Choice Foundation (MD, USA) established in 1978. The Explorabook was created over a period of nearly 3 years of intensive collaboration between the editors of Klutz and the staff of the San Francisco Exploratorium. [The Exploratorium, a place of scientific imagination, was begun in 1969 by Dr. Frank Oppenheimer. The museum was founded on Dr. Oppenheimer's practical conviction that nothing is ever learned until it is self-taught, and that the preferred position for this kind of learning is vertical: both fee on the ground and both arms elbow-deep in the subject matter. Officially, the Exploratorium - with over 600 exhibits - describes itself as "a museum of science, art and human perception," and its goal "to help visitors ask their own questions - about the world and their perception of it. Author John Cassidy is the creator of more than 20 Klutz guides, of which many millions have been sold. KLUTZ is a kids' company staffed entirely by real human beings. A Nelvana company, Klutz is based in Palo Alto, California. Its mission statement is: "Create wonderful things; Be good; Have fun."
