The Magic of Science

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. ~Albert Einstein

Welcome to The Magic in Science. Throughout this year I hope to enlighten you on how science shows up in these books we love so much. Have you ever read a part of the book and thought, 'I wonder if I could do that?' This class will answer that question for you. A background in science is not needed.

This class was inspired by the book 'The Science of Harry Potter' by Roger Highfield. I use this as a reference many times throughout my lessons.
