1 Heat: The Warm-up Chapter

It’s getting hot in here Great garters All of a slither Reptiles in the bag Snakes and ladders The heat is on Get a move on Twist ’n’ shake Fur enough The dog’s body Let’s go for a spin On a roll Shaken not stirred Radiate to accumulate A nice hot drink Red red whine Dangerous liaisons Serve chilled Sting in the tail You shall go to the ball Social whirl A tail tale Snake, rattle and roll Slide to it Showdown time Flagging the danger Squirrelling away Beetle drive Light my fire Hot-footing it The heat, the heat Ear’s the answer Sensitive type Heat in short

2 Forces: The Big Push

Here be dragons Light bite Monster force Poisonous smile Reptiles lost A weighty problem Dodging raindrops Never rains but it pours Raindrops keep falling on my head Drop dead gorgeous Join the club The need for speed Blowing bubbles Little smasher Shelling out Fastest loser Shut your trap A sticky customer Sticking around What a feeling Singing in the rain Hang on Sticking point Snap-shot

3 Fluids: When Things Get Stickier

Walking miracles Fluid thinking A tense affair Get your skates on The cat on the lap Lapping it up You little copycat Going with the flow Numbers game Slowly does it The slow-food revolution Air your thoughts The bee team Flight of the bumblebee We have lift-off Fixed thinking All in a flip-flap To bee or not to bee Smoke signals Virtuous spiral The bee’s knees The f(l)ight of the fossil-hunters Them bones them bones Time to ptero-soar The right angle? All in the wrist Fluids on the brain

4 Sound: Good Vibrations

Sounds good We’re going to the zoo Spooky sensations Out to bat Ear we go I just called... Attenuate, attenuate Snaking through the sand A jaw of two halves Going underground Feeling those vibrations Did the Earth move? Bush telegraph Hear hear Hearing high and low Parks and recreation Sounds fishy Softly, softly A sound summary

5 Electricity and Magnetism: Let the Sparks Fly

Living in electric dreams R-eel-y scary Current thinking Zap! Pow! Let the field be with you Blooming marvellous Busy bees Buzzers ready A hairy business Who’s in charge? Charging ahead Magnetic attraction Shelling out What he tort-us Richard the Ironheart? Home, sweet home Flipping marvellous Iron man? Meet the quantum mechanics Quantum wonderland Surface thinking When two become one

6 Light: A Final Physics Fandango

Getting antsy The ant doctor From ants to bees Blue-sky thinking Light relief Back to bee-sics Ants on stilts A spot of colour Bird’s eye view Nest egg Bird-brained Watch the birdie All agape Are you (super)normal? Reflections on water Bend it like Snell Snell-o-vision Spitting out the solution Fishing for results Into the red Reddy steady go Travelling light Trawling for results Digging deep Squids in What big eyes you have, Grandma A whale of a time Light rain Time to squidaddle A light round-up

Conclusion Life, the Universe and Everything

A life of physics Inspired by nature Knowing me, knowing you
