Force and Motion

Forces are all around us. This early reader takes a practical look at pushing and pulling. Picture examples are given throughout the book to help readers see how forces function in our environment.

What is friction? How does friction cause an object to slow down or stop? Will a toy car roll better across a floor or carpet? In this book, children can learn why and how friction works through specific examples and supporting pictures.

This popular kids' science series is one that has covered many topics over time. Enjoy this one on the subject of force, or push-and-pull as it's known in this book.

Another book from this series which shares scientific topics for the early reader. Photographs and vocabulary words that are meant to make sense of physics but at a level appropriate for young children.

While at play with his dog, Newton, a young boy discovers the laws of force and motion in his everyday activities. Told in rhyme, Lynne Mayer’s Newton and Me follows these best friends on an adventure as they apply physics to throwing a ball, pulling a wagon, riding a bike, and much more. They will realize that Newton’s Laws of Motion describe experiences they have every day, and they will recognize how forces affect the objects around them. The “For Creative Minds” educational section includes: Force and Motion Fun Facts, Matching Forces, Who Was Newton?, and Newton’s Laws of Motion (2 of 3). Additional teaching activities and interactive quizzes are available on the Arbordale Publishing website.

This book from the Primary Physical Science series is just the right book for learning about motion and how it affects each of us in our own lives. Includes hands-on activities.

This book offers hands-on activities to study the physics of motion. It includes experiments in gravity and friction and other laws of physics.

This is an excellent opportunity to investigate all of those unique and challenging questions that have been bugging you for years. Come and investigate how airplanes get off the ground, how gravity works and why a person cannot sink in the Dead Sea.

This is a great resource for students and for teachers. This book brings the science of force and motion together with concise vocabulary and pictures to explain the concepts clearly using entertaining methods.

The beloved Ms. Frizzle is ready to set out on another science adventure. In this book, the class thinks physics is boring. They would rather be playing baseball! Ms. Frizzle calls in the Magic School Bus to take the class to play a game of baseball in a world without friction. The students begin to develop an appreciation for friction as they slip and slide around the no-friction baseball field.
