How Does It Move? Forces and Motion
Physics is considered a subject for secondary-school students, yet its laws
govern things we, at any age, witness every day. This age-appropriate series
introduces young readers to the laws of motion, thermodynamics, and the
properties of waves through easy-to-comprehend examples. Students are also shown
how these former mysteries were unraveled by problem-solving scientists. These
books provide a foundation on which an understanding of this area of science can
be built.
Each Book Contains:
• A glossary of terms that will advance a
student's understanding of science
• An activity to provide first-hand
experience with a scientific concept
• A sidebar on a person who discovered
or advanced our knowledge of the scientific principle
• A quiz to aid in
student comprehension
Curriculum Connections:
• Students learn about the
many forces that cause and affect motion
• The concepts of the conservation
of energy and the transfer of energy are illustrated in easy-to-understand
examples
• Earth's place in the universe and the ways the laws of motion and
energy govern life here is explained
