gravitation

Provides insight into the life, work, and thinking of Isaac Newton, known as the father of physics, and discusses his theory of gravity.

A simple introduction to gravity, describing what it is and giving some effects of this force.

A collection of science experiments and projects exploring gravity.

With accessible language and breathtaking NASA images, students will explore the theory of gravity, from Newton's law of universal gravitation to Einstein's general relativity and beyond.

"Each book in the My Science Fun series includes a simple experiment for the earliest readers. This book features step-by-step instructions on playing with gravity while encouraging further exploration on the topic. Simple sentence structure and word usage help children develop word recognition and reading skills."--.

"This book looks at the historical controversies that surround the theory of gravity and tells the stories of the scientists who worked on the theory. It also examines how they arrived at the theory of gravity, how it was tested, and what impact the theory has had on our understanding of science today"--Publisher.

"The earth is round, so why don't some people hang upside down? The answer is gravity! Young readers can explore the concept of gravity with vibrant, full-color photos, clear text, and critical thinking questions"--.

Introduces the concept of gravity.

Introduces students in grades five through eight to key concepts in physics, focusing on gravity, using visuals and experiments to discuss mass, weight, distance, Galileo, air resistance, parachutes, terminal velocity, and G-force. Includes review segments.

Explains what gravity is, places gravity feels different, and how different objects are affected by gravity, with simple text, illustrations, and graphic novel panels.
