Forces and Motion Science Fair Projects, Revised and Expanded Using the Scientific Method


Book Description

How can you tell if a moving object is accelerating? Why are pulleys used to lift objects? Can you observe weightlessness in everyday situations? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, you can learn the answers to these questions and more. If you are interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

Sheep in a Jeep


Book Description

"Beep Beep Sheep in a jeep on a hill that s steep.""Sheep in a Jeep" is well-loved by the preschool and early-reader sets for its slapstick story of five sheep (in a jeep) and silly sound effects especially when the jeep goes splash and thud in the mud Nancy Shaw s rollicking rhymes are Seuss-snappy, and Margot Apple s appealing pencil illustrations are expressive and hilarious. Shear delight. Don t miss Shaw and Apple s other sheep-heaped titles: "Sheep in a Shop," "Sheep on a Ship," "Sheep Out to Eat," "Sheep Trick or Treat," "Sheep Blast Off," and "Sheep Take a Hike."

Explore Forces and Motion!


Book Description

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! With 25 Great Projects, readers ages 7 through 10 discover that the push and pull of every object on the planet and in space depends on how a force acts upon it. Things float because of a force called buoyancy, we stick to the ground because of a force called gravity, and we make footprints in sand because of a force called pressure. Physics becomes accessible and interactive through activities such as a experimenting with a water cup drop, building a bridge, and spotting magnetic field lines. Simple machines such as levers, pulleys, and wedges are used as vehicles for discovery and comprehension of the foundational concepts of physical science. Using a theme familiar to everyone—motion—this book captures the imagination and encourages young readers to push, pull, twist, turn, and spin their way to learning about forces and motion.




Science of Race Cars: Studying Forces and Motion


Book Description

In this engaging title, young readers learn about the moving form of energy that is motion! The relationship of mass and acceleration is explained, as are the forces of downforce, updraft, friction, inertia, centripetal force, and the role of aerodynamics in managing these forces. These properties are illustrated by the running of car races. Colorful infographics make internal combustion, mass and acceleration, and centripetal force easily accessible, and prominent contributors such as Junior Johnson and Sir Isaac Newton are featured. A fun experiment with friction brings the science of motion to life! Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Checkerboard Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
