This graphic nonfiction book introduces the properties of force and motion. Each of the ten Building Blocks of Physical Science volumes features a whimsical character to guide the reader through a physical science topic. The science is as sound as the presentation is fun! The volumes include a glossary, an additional resource list, and an index. Several spreads in each volume are illustrated with photographs to help clarify concepts and facts.
Describes different types of forces and offers experiments to demonstrate the priciples of physical science that apply.
Force and motion are all around us and help us move and do great things!
"Introduces the connection between force and motion and describes the effects of air resistance, mass, and gravity"--Provided by publisher.
Clear explanations, drawings, and activities cover what science teachers and parents need to know to teach children about force and motion.

Enter the world of motion by taking a look at the forces that move objects on or around Earth. Explore how Newton's laws of motion, gravity, and friction affect dirt...
Everything moves! Kids run around the playground, cars drive on the road, and balls fly through the air. What causes all this motion? Physics! Forces and motion rule the way everything moves through space. In Explore Forces and Motion!
This volume breaks down the topics of force and motion to its most basic and understandable parts, perfect to introduce to readers having a hard time or students looking to review for class.
A force is a push or pull that makes things move, stop, or change direction. It takes more force to move more mass. Gravity is a force that pulls things together. Friction is a force that slows things down and makes it harder to move them.
Forces and motion are everywhere! This book uses real-world examples to bring the concepts of force and motion to life in an approachable way.
