"There is science behind every action, even the simplest like opening a door. This book serves as a brief introduction to force by explaining the relationship between a push and a pull. The first chapter will explain what force is. It is then followed by establishing the relationship between force and motion. Lastly, [one] will be reading about gravity and how it affects everything all forces and actions on Earth"--Amazon.

"An introduction to the six simple machines-the screw, lever, wedge, pulley, inclined plane, and the wheel and axle-and examples of how they are used in real life"--Provided by publisher.

Forces--those that push and pull on objects--are a critical concept in the elementary science classroom. For learners to truly understand this physics topic, they need to see forces in action. This well-designed book takes an up-close look at forces, exploring essential themes such as gravity, magnetism, and friction, through at-level and engaging text that leads into a related high-interest activity, such as making balloon rockets and hovercrafts as well as testing whether objects sink or float. Colorful images accompany both the main information and the step-by-step instructions.

"Why do racing cyclists crouch low over their handlebars to go faster? Why do you fall back down when you bounce on a trampoline? And why does the refrigerator door close as if it's being pulled by something invisible? The answer is forces. Gravity, friction, gears, pulleys, levers, and magnets are all explored in this title"--Publisher.

In Electricity, early fluent readers will learn how electricity and the physics behind it impacts our universe every day. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about the laws, history, and applications of this foundational STEM concept. Infographics and sidebars present interesting, supplementary information, and an activity offers readers an opportunity to extend discovery. Children can learn more about electricity using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Electricity also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, a glossary, and an index. Electricity is part of Jump!'s Foundations of Physics series.

"How do big construction machines do their job? Young readers will see that they use the force of push and pull to get the work done"--Provided by publisher.

"You can't see forces, but they are at work everywhere around you. Get outside and learn more about forces with these fun experiments and projects you can do outside or with materials you find outdoors"--Publisher.

How does an electrical circuit work? What?s a conductor? Where does static electricity come from? The answers to these questions and more are waiting for readers to discover in this engaging and educational guide to electricity.
