Features: The human visual system actually has many astonishing aspects. Relying on our eyes and brains, we can see things clearly, distinguish light and darkness, distances, colors, and shapes, and even predict the time and distance of moving objects. However, our eyes can also make mistakes: seeing straight lines as curved, long things as short, flat surfaces as uneven, and sometimes failing to see things that are there or perceiving things that aren’t. The book presents some visual traps that cause our eyes to err, and you’ll discover that the images "built" by the visual system can differ from reality! Science doesn’t have to be highbrow or dull. A curious mind, combined with simple props, is enough to experience the joy of science. The book records a series of magical scientific experiments using everyday items: eggs, hangers, glass bottles, balloons, creating surprising scientific phenomena. Through this book, children can explore various scientific principles, such as mechanics, materials science, thermodynamics, and chemistry, sparking their curiosity and interest in science. The book compiles 40 games that test your reasoning and intelligence, challenging your "brainpower" and guaranteeing a "head-spinning" experience. When you find yourself truly "head-spinning" and unable to solve the mysteries of the games, you can study them with friends or invite your parents to join in. It is hoped that through this book, everyone will use their brains more, think about problems from multiple perspectives, and "dig deeper" into the odd and difficult issues they encounter in life—perhaps there will be unexpected rewards!
