Humans have been building bridges for centuries. They have opened up new areas to exploration and commerce. Although the basic function of bridges has not changed, the materials and methods of construction have undergone amazing transformations over the years. These continue to advance, which will allow engineers to make bridges that are even longer and sturdier than the ones that exist today. Informative sidebars enhance the engaging main text, giving readers an in-depth look at the history and science of bridge construction. A glossary of new terms gives readers a better grasp of the subject matter, and a list of websites gives a starting point for further research.

Physical science can be a challenging topic for readers at any level, but this creative guide to physics breaks down essential concepts in a creative and accessible way. Text relating to forces and matter is presented in very short snippets, including bullet points, highlighted fun facts and statistics, and descriptions on diagrams. This is designed to help readers see that learning about science is anything but boring! Images play a large role in this learning experience, with information being presented in the form of graphic organizers, infographics, and a combination of illustrations and photographs.

In partnership with The Science Museum, this book introduces 100 key areas of physics--including gravity, motion, magnetism and quantum physics--and explains each topic in just 100 words.

Although the concept of forces may seem too advanced for early learners, it can really be broken down into the very simple idea of pushes and pulls. Through this age-appropriate lens, readers are introduced to the building blocks of physics. Clear and concise main text is paired with full-color photographs that provide relatable examples of science in action. Clear labels on the photographs and diagrams introduce readers to new terms and allow them to make connections between images and words. In addition, a useful glossary defines unfamiliar terms in a way that is easy for young readers to understand.

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.
