About the Book

The world is filled with people, vehicles, and other objects that are constantly in motion. After studying the force of gravity in the late 1600s, English scientist Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion that described an object's inertia and friction. His third law was the basis for the well-known phrase "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Whether you are walking to school, playing a sport, or riding a roller coaster, these laws of motion govern the way we live.

About the Author :

Review :
Each of these volumes contains five or six chapters of varying length, punctuated with "Did you know" boxes, and an extensive resource list including books, Web sites, and museums. The concise chapters make for quick reading, and the bottom of each page has an interesting side note. The artwork is exciting and varied with photos, diagrams, and computerized images. Scientific principles aligned with the science standards for middle grades are explained with specific and appropriate vocabulary making the information both interesting and accessible, and could serve as an introduction to the curriculum or a review. The examples are designed to be interesting to students including things such as skydiving to explain weightlessness and car crashes to explain speed and force, as well as historical events. My seventh grade son also read these titles and commented that they were just like his science book last year except that they were more fun to read and the pictures were better. Highly Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection" This series presents brief, easy-to-understand, yet very substantive, introductions to physical science topics with kid-friendly examples, diagrams, and photos. In Electrical Circuits, a photo of a large electromagnet attracting a variety of scrap metal in a junkyard adds to the discussion of magnetism. In each book one page is devoted to each of the following: a glossary, "Did You Know," and further resources including books, a link and ID # for FactHound, and an index. 2008 Young Adult Top Forty Nonfiction Title-- "Pennsylvania School Librarians Association"
