Explores the effects and energy of g-forces, and demonstrates the use of g-forces in amusement parks, racing, space exploration, and sports.

Discusses early theories on gravity, principles of how gravity works, and possible effects of gravity with regards to such phenomena as white dwarfs and black holes.

Explains what gravity is and how it works, covering such topics as mass, how gravity affects objects, and the difference between Earth's gravity and that of the moon.

Discusses forces such as air pressure, inertia, and gravity, and how they affect daily life. Includes related activities.

With his talking dog, Frankie, as a constant companion, ten-year-old Cal Barraclough investigates his wacky neighbor's unusual experiments.

All matter is composed of atoms that combine in different ways, giving us the multitude of shapes and structures we observe on a daily basis. Readers examine the different states and properties of matter, as well as the laws and forces to which matter is subject.

Contains seven scientific essays that address topics of extreme physics, including black holes, inconstant constants, the String Theory, and more.
