Explores the history of physics.

"Yesterday. Esso has a gift for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's just landed him in the middle of a deadly conflict between two rival South London gangs. All he wants is to make it through Friday alive. but then an accident knocks him into a place beyond space or time; a world where he can see glimpses of his past and future. And if what he sees there is true, he and his friends don't have much longer to live, unless he can change the course of history. Tomorrow. Rhia has nothing but questions about her past, and she wouldn't have expected her new phyusics tutor to have the answers. But Dr. Esso isn't here to make sure Rhia does her homework. He needs her help to unravel a tragedy that happened fifteen years ago. One that holds the key not only to Rhia's past but to a future worth fighting for"--Back cover.

"Learn physics on the fly with this activity-based book for ages 12 to 15 that explores the connections between science, sports, and entertainment!"--Provided by publisher.

"Sports and other kinds of fun movement make us feel good and energized, and are great to do with friends and family. But they also have a lot of science involved if you look closely! In this title, readers explore what bouncing a ball, jumping rope, hula hoops, and throwing a baseball have to do with science. Each experiment or activity includes an explanation of the scientific concept to be tested, a list of materials, set up information, and a step-by-step guide to performing the experiment. 'Extras' and science fair project ideas conclude most experiments and give students ideas for expanding each project"--Provided by publisher.

"British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington photographed the 1919 solar eclipse to prove Einstein's theory of general relativity by demonstrating that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light"--Provided by publisher.

Over the centuries, brilliant men and women have sought to develop theories to answer the most compelling questions about the world around us. Through their amazing insights and conscientious efforts they helped to create the world we know today. In this beautifully illustrated full-color hardback, award-winning author Anne Rooney introduces you to the fascinating world of science and its greatest practitioners.

Learning about the states of matter is a crucial part of any physical science curriculum. In this title, readers learn about the states-but also make slime, race marbles, and find out how heavy air is! Each fun experiment or activity begins with an explanation of the science concept being shown in the project. Clear step-by-step instructions guide readers through the set up and execution of the experiment. Most projects also include additional ideas to expand on the project, and some are marked as a great place to start work on a science fair project.

"This title explains what magnetism is, what materials are magnets, and what makes a material magnetic. Readers will even learn that Earth is a giant magnet"--Publisher.
