The science of Disney imagineering

What scientific principle keeps coming up and up when designing Disney's theme park attractions? Trajectory! The Imagineers demonstrate how forces and motion play a leading role in creating rides like California Adventure's California Screamin' and Toy Story Midway Mania. Learn the definitions of projectile and Trajectory, see how Newton's First Law of Motion relates to these principles, and how to apply the physics of motion to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile.

In my house

Introduces young readers to the forces of pushing and pulling while working in the house.

At the playground

Introduces young readers to the forces of pushing and pulling while playing on the playground.

On the go

Introduces young readers to the forces of pushing and pulling while on the go.

In my yard

Introduces young readers to the forces of pushing and pulling while working in the yard.

Laws of motion and Isaac Newton

Discusses the life and scientific discoveries of physicist Isaac Newton.

Understanding the laws of motion

An introduction to the three laws of motion that explain how forces act on matter and on how matter responds to forces.

Hands-on science

2024
"In this interactive picture book, young readers poke, roll, and slide objects on the page, using their imagination to conduct simple physics experiments. They learn about forces (pushes and pulls), inertia, gravity, acceleration, and friction. Back matter includes a real-world experiment"--Provided by publisher.

Motion

2019
"This title explains what motion is and the energy it takes to make motion happen. It will also review Isaac Newton's three laws of motion and what they mean"--Publisher.
