Engaging experiments using simple toys and everyday stuff teach curious young minds all about forces and motion. Readers can take an up-close look at how gravity works, what centripetal force is, how mass and motion are related, and so much more. With low-level text and step-by-step photos, connecting young readers with science concepts has never been simpler!

"Step-by-step instructions for experiments pertaining to forces, motion, and simple machines."--

There are forces at work whenever you throw a ball, run up the stairs, or push your big brotheroff the couch. Want to learn more about the forces around you? Read and find out!

Describes different types of forces and offers experiments to demonstrate the priciples of physical science that apply.

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 playÊa game on the soccer field. Free bonus video content through the Capstone 4D augmented reality app enhances the science experience.

Directions for many simple physics experiments, including descriptions of necessary equipment, principles, techniques and safety precautions.

Young scientists will learn the power of physics when they make their own lemon batteries, demonstrate centrifugal force, and exhibit how sound energy travels. They will identify magnetic poles, learn what the best conductor for heat is, and even determine why eggs don't break beneath their bird guardians. Color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions will guide readers through this collection of twenty-four physics experiments from celebrated educator Janice VanCleave, empowering them to learn in a tactile and entertaining way.
