Forces: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science
series gets kids excited about science! "Forces, despite its
down-to-earth scientific grounding, manages to do the nearly
impossible. Diehn brings gravity, magnetism, push-pull forces, and
friction to life in everyday contexts, without a hint of schoolroom
jargon." - Booklist (Starred Review) What keeps us stuck on the
ground? What makes magnets come together? What makes one team win
during a game of tug of war? Forces! Our world operates the way it
does because of forces. Gravity, magnetism, pulling and pushing
forces, and friction are some of the many forces that affect the
way we move on Earth. In Forces: Physical Science for Kids, kids
ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to observe and consider the different
forces they encounter on a daily basis. By recognizing this basic
physics concept and identifying the different ways it is
demonstrated in real life, kids develop a fundamental understanding
of physical science and are impressed with the idea that science is
a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and
laboratories. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy
science experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning
for kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for beginner readers or as a read
aloud nonfiction picture book! Part of a set of four books in a
series called Picture Book Science that tackles different kinds of
physical science (waves, forces, energy, and matter), Forces:
Physical Science for Kids pairs beautiful illustrations with simple
observations and explanations. Quick STEM activities such as
rubbing surfaces together to produce heat and testing the
properties of magnets help readers cross the bridge from conceptual
to experiential learning and provide a foundation of knowledge that
will prove invaluable as kids progress in their science education
Perfect for children who love to ask, "Why?" about the world around
them, Forces satisfies curiosity while encouraging student-led
learning. Picture Book Science presents real-world examples of
physical science and engineering topics kids find fascinating!
These nonfiction picture books consist of engaging narratives
paired with brightly colored, whimsical illustrations drawn by an
accomplished scientist. With these books, readers ages 5 to 8 are
encouraged to expand their definitions of the words "force,"
"matter," "energy," and "wave." Elementary-aged children are
equipped to recognize basic science concepts and identify the
different ways they are demonstrated in real life, while being
impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our
lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Titles in the
series include: Waves; Forces; Matter; and Energy.
