"In this detailed guide to Newton's laws of motion, readers will be encouraged to take learning into their own hands with three engaging makerspace projects that bring each of the laws to life. Young scientists will gain an understanding of the importance of these principles in scientific endeavors and in everyday life. They'll also learn more about Sir Isaac Newton and how he discovered the laws of motion. Detailed instructions and . . . photographs will help students complete the projects and make connections with the text"--Provided by publisher.

". . . Brian Greene takes readers on a . . . journey from the big bang to the end of time and invites us to ponder meaning in the face of this unimaginable expanse. He shows us how, from its original orderly state the universe has been moving inexorably toward chaos, and, still, remarkable structures have continually formed: the planets, stars, and galaxies that provide islands in a sea of disorder; biochemical mechanisms, including mutation and selection, animate life; neurons, information, and thought developed into complex consciousness which in turn gave rise to cultures and their timeless myths and creativity. And he describes, as well, how, in the deep reaches of the future, the nature of the universe will threaten the existence of matter itself"--Provided by publisher.

"Have you ever wondered how a Harlem Globetrotters player can spin a basketball on one finger for so long? Or what a basketball is made of? Or how the laws of physics are also the laws of basketball? . . . beginning readers can learn about the science behind basketball"--Publisher.

It's equal parts stunt-plane fun and aviator cool for builders of all levels! With step-by-step, photo-illustrated instructions, Folding Paper Airplanes with STEM shows readers how to fold a wild collection of gliders, blimps, jets, and whirlies, and pairs those projects with clear, concise explanations of the basic physics of flight.

Sixth-grader Simon Bloom finds a book that enables him to control the laws of physics; but when two thugs come after him, he needs the formulas in the book to save himself.

Presents the answers to over 825 questions about physics and physicists, beginning with a general section dealing with the basics of physics, and exploring movement, energy, fluids, heat and thermodynamics, waves, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, deep theories, and other topics.

Describes the unique and diverse life of Sir Isaac Newton.

Examines the scientific discovery that mankind only knows about four percent of the universe--meaning ninety-six percent is unknown--and discusses the efforts of scientists to discover "dark" matter and energy, bitter rivals between professionals, and the eureka moments that have altered the way people view the universe.
