motion

"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.

"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.

"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.

"Sports and other kinds of fun movement make us feel good and energized, and are great to do with friends and family. But they also have a lot of science involved if you look closely! In this title, readers explore what bouncing a ball, jumping rope, hula hoops, and throwing a baseball have to do with science. Each experiment or activity includes an explanation of the scientific concept to be tested, a list of materials, set up information, and a step-by-step guide to performing the experiment. 'Extras' and science fair project ideas conclude most experiments and give students ideas for expanding each project"--Provided by publisher.

Photographs and simple text teach children about motion.

Simple text and photographs give young readers an introduction to things that you can push.

Simple text and photographs give young readers an introduction to things that you can pull.

Text and illustrations present ten hands-on science experiments that use motion.

"An introduction to the six simple machines-the screw, lever, wedge, pulley, inclined plane, and the wheel and axle-and examples of how they are used in real life"--Provided by publisher.

"The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality"--Provided by publisher.
