This graphic nonfiction book introduces the force of gravity and its effects on Earth and the universe. 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.
Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance.
This book introduces readers to scintillating science topics using easy-to-understand diagrams and fun fact boxes. This book explores important concepts such as weight and mass, how gravity affects our solar system, and zero gravity.
This book discusses gravitational force and presents experiments in balancing fruit and making a ramp racer, a water clock, a balloon rocket, and a ring wing glider.
Describes how gravity works and discusses important theories of gravity from Isaac Newton, Galileo, and Charles Dermer.
A ball drops to the ground. Leaves fall from a tree. Gravity is at work all around you. But what exactly is gravity? And how does it affect different objects? Read this book to find out!
Third grade students will learn all about gravity through this engaging text that is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and supports STEM education.
A distinguished physicist takes an enlightening look at three scientists whose work unlocked many mysteries: Galileo, the first to examine the process of free and restricted fall; Newton, originator of a universal force; and Einstein, who ...
This book uncovers gravity as a key to understanding these fascinating phenomena that have so captivated public interest in recent years.
Using a question and answer format, explains what gravity is and what it does.
This book describes the growth of our understanding of gravity and the science on which it is based, from the early Greeks to Einstein's grand insights of curved space-time.
