"A future engineer may gaze up at an airplane soaring high above and wonder about the forces that keep it in flight. This . . . title will not only help young readers understand these forces, but also experience them firsthand in a safe setting! It begins by breaking down Newton's laws of motion. Then students learn to take on the mindset of a scientist for their experiments with an explanation of the scientific method. Illustrations and . . . step-by-step instructions then guide students through 11 experiments. These include creating a balloon-powered jet boat and a human gyroscope! Each experiment also features a description of the science that makes it possible"--Provided by publisher.
