"A big push can help your sister reach new heights on the swing, and a helpful hand can pull her up if she falls. Forces in motion are everywhere. They make things move with a tugging pull or a great, big push. Explore exciting science concepts through fun examples and simple, lively text to set learning into motion"--

"Find out how energy is stored, transferred, and changed, what conducts and what stores heat, and how to change matter from a solid to a liquid to a gas"--Provided by publisher.

"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,...

Provides instructions for a variety of activities which introduce some basic principles of physics.

"Pushing against a wall and pulling on a rope are examples of forces at work in the world around us. This age-appropriate way of discussing forces allows young readers to explore beginner physics using language and examples they can easily understand. The simple, accessible text and colorful diagrams present a basic science curriculum topic to early learners in a fresh and fun way. Vibrant photographs of young people experimenting with forces encourage...

"Makerspaces are places designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. In Move It! Projects You Can Drive, Fly, and Roll, kids will make a mini helicopter fly from a circuit-controlled helipad, build a motorized LEGO car, and more! Colorful step-by-step photos bring each project to life. Techniques and tips help troubleshoot and use the materials within the makerspace. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards." -- Amazon.com....

"Using the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the My World of Science series provides the earliest readers with background on key STEM concepts. Pushing and Pulling explores force and motion in physics in a simple, engaging way that will help readers develop word recognition and reading skills. Includes a glossary and index"--

"Scooby-Doo and the gang learn about different forms of energy in a ski resort setting and solve a ghost mystery"--

Uses the example of a bicycle to explore forces and how they work, discussing gravity, friction, acceleration, and torque.

"In cartoon format, uses aliens to explain the science of energy"--Provided by publisher.
