Overview
A unique and accessible exploration of force and motion using everyday examples from kids’ lives!
A child’s day-to-day world is powered by force and motion. Pushing a sled to send it down a snowy hill. Pulling on a carrot to lift it out of the soil. Hitting a moving baseball with a bat to change the ball’s direction. It’s all in a day’s play – and it’s all connected to physics! But how exactly do these contact forces work? And what about noncontact forces, such as gravity and magnetism – ones we can’t even see? In this introduction to physics, children will learn about the basics of force and motion through examples from their everyday lives.
From the critically acclaimed Science of How series comes an engaging look at physical science topics with clear, simple language and sweet illustrations that feature the same characters playing throughout. Children love learning how things work. Here they learn all the ways objects move, whether by a visible (contact) force – pushing, pulling, friction – or an invisible (noncontact) force – gravity, magnetism. This book from award-winning author Susan Hughes and illustrator Ellen Rooney makes an excellent addition to any early science shelf. It includes a hands-on activity and a glossary of essential terms in the back to reinforce understanding. Kids will love learning just how powerful they are!
