What is friction? What is the coriolis force? Young scientists will explore the physics of forces and motion with the great experiments in this book. Full-color illustrations highlight key points to make science a snap. Many experiments are followed by ideas for science fair projects. Help students ace their next physics project or test.

Provides an 'information library' on the main aspects of science and life sciences, with an emphasis on enquiry. This series answers the questions that children ask and addresses the topics that they are required to research at this level.

Scientists have known for a long time that things move in predictable patterns. It took an apple falling to help further their knowledge, though. We now know how things move and why. Scientists continue to study motion and the forces that cause it, and you can too! In this book, you’ll learn about pushes and pulls and different types of energy. The next time you play soccer, you’ll be able to use your new scientific knowledge to teach your friends and family why that soccer ball moves the way it does.

Contains simple and fun experiments that you can try using common household objects.

Students will love pouring through these exciting science fair ideas about forces and motion. Each project comes with helpful hints on how to customize the project and win the science fair prize.
