"First Science explains introductory physical science concepts about energy through real-world observation and simple scientific diagrams. Intended for students in grades three through six"--Provided by publisher.

Introduces the concept of energy, including heat, motion, and fuels.

Describes the scientific method and offers instructions for conducting experiments involving a paper parachute, tennis ball, and pennies.

"In cartoon format, uses zombies to explain the science of forces and motion"--

"Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this clever board book explores the transfer of energy as it flows from the sun to an apple to baby."--

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 down force, updraft, friction, inertia, centripetal force, and the role of aerodynamics in managing these forces.

"This title explains what motion is and the energy it takes to make motion happen. It will also review Isaac Newton's three laws of motion and what they mean. It is complete with carefully chosen photographs and labeled diagrams to help visual learners. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards." --

In this engaging title, young readers learn about different forms of energy! Different forms of energy such a potential and kinetic are explained, as are gravity, acceleration, velocity, g-forces, and centripetal force. These properties are illustrated by the design and operation of roller coasters. Colorful infographics make joules and shifting energy easily accessible, and prominent contributors such as LaMarcus Thompson are featured. A fun experiment...

Explains the different types of energy, how they are used, and their importance to everyday living.

Provides more than fifty experiments illustrating the properties of force and motion including gravity, inertia, and density.
