Study how energy is needed to make a force that can create motion in this introduction to physics book for third graders. Understand the concept through examples that you can easily relate. For example, you will read about how lifting is a force and that force causes an object to move. There are plenty of other examples inside so make sure you get a copy today.
Study the how force causes change by using everyday examples. This book will discuss the mechanics behind the relationship between force and change. It will also touch on the several tools that have been invented to increase force and make change happen more quickly. Are you ready to step further into physics? Then grab a copy of this book today.
What are simple machines? Use this book to learn about six types of simple machines such as the screw, inclined plane, wedge, pulley, level, wheel and axle. How do these machines operate and how are they used to make life so much easier? Go ahead and grab a copy today.
Let’s talk about the mechanics of how objects move, otherwise referred to as the Laws of Motions in action. This book will introduce the basic ideas of motion and the effects of force on the motion of objects. Are you excited to learn? Then grab a copy and start reading today!
Read to learn about the characteristics of waves. This book will discuss crest, trough and length. It will also include information on the many types of waves such as light waves, sound waves, infrared waves and ultraviolet waves. Most importantly, read about the parts of a wave and how parts work together. Buy a copy of this book to read about the waves in action today.
A baseball player slides on the ground to tag a base. A toy car's wheels rub against the floor and slow the toy car down. Friction is at work all around you. But what exactly is friction? And how does it affect different objects? Read this book to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the Exploring Physical Science series—part of the Lightning Bolt BooksTM collection. With high-energy designs, exciting photos, and fun text, Lightning Bolt BooksTM bring nonfiction topics to life!
Matter: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science series gets kids excited about science! What’s the matter? Everything is matter! Everything you can touch and hold is made up of matter—including you, your dog, and this book! Matter is stuff that you can weigh and that takes up space, which means pretty much everything in the world is made of matter. In Matter: Physical Science for Kids, kids ages 5 to 8 explore the definition of matter and the different states of matter, plus the stuff in our world that isn’t matter, such as sound and light! In this nonfiction picture book, children are introduced to physical science through detailed illustrations paired with a compelling narrative that uses fun language to convey familiar examples of real-world science connections. By recognizing the basic physics concept of matter and identifying the different ways matter appears in real life, kids develop a fundamental understanding of physical science and are impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy science experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning for kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for beginner readers or as a read aloud nonfiction picture book! Part of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book Science that tackles different kinds of physical science (waves, forces, energy, and matter), Matter offers beautiful pictures and simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM activities such as weighing two balloons to test if air is matter help readers cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids progress in their science education. Perfect for children who love to ask, “Why?” about the world around them, Matter satisfies curiosity while encouraging continual student-led learning.
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!
Force and motion are all around us and help us move and do great things! Through a variety of vivid images and stunning facts, readers will explore how forces and motions work. The easy-to-read text and accessible glossary and index ensure that readers have the tools they need to understand such concepts as gravity, equilibrium, acceleration, deceleration, electromagnetic fields, pressure, kinetic energy, and inertia. To gain further insight into how gravity, forces, and motion works, a stimulating lab activity is featured!
