force and energy

"Featuring . . . leveled text and [color] photographs, this nonfiction title shows younger readers examples of forces and motion in everyday life"--Provided by publisher.

An exploration of forces that focuses on pushes and pulls, discussing how things move, speed, direction, and other topics.

Explores the science of forces and motion through seven simple experiments that can be done at home. Includes step-by-step instructions, color photographs, a glossary, and further resources.

What keeps us stuck on the ground? What makes magnets come together? What makes one team win during a game of tug of war? Forces!--.

How does a rollercoaster work? Why don't I fly off a scrambler or octopus ride? How do bumper cars work? Covering lots of different rides, including traditional, more tame rides such as rollercoasters, helter-skelters and bumper cars, to more white-knuckle screamers such as scramblers, loop-the-loops, gondolas and corkscrews, Race that Bike! takes a fun look at forces in an amusement park. While learning about forces you will find that you also find out the answers to many questions that you have asked yourself about how amusement park rides work, and more. This Feel the Force series shows how forces and motion work in the world around us, in a set of high-interest situations. Each book includes three simple activities or investigations for readers to try. Overlays over large photos, plus diagrams, show how forces are acting in a given situation. Topics covered in the series include basic pushes, pulls and friction, air resistance, gravity, mass, weight and springs.

Presents some basic information about such concepts of physics as force and resistance, while describing the mechanics of gymnastics and other games and exercises that commonly take place in gyms.

This book follows the search for an understanding of what energy is, from the Greek philosophers to the scientific discoveries of the early 21st century.

A detailed exploration of the science behind fearsome forces, paired with fun and relevant experiments, will make even the most reluctant readers excited to pick up this book.

"Curious Pearl and her friends love soccer. There's plenty of fun, and lots of forces and motion in action. Pearl teaches her friends all about physical science as they play a game on the soccer field"--Provided by publisher.

Each title in the Everyday STEM series provides an exciting look at real-world physics, engaging readers with dynamic images and examples.
