In partnership with The Science Museum, this book introduces 100 key areas of physics--including gravity, motion, magnetism and quantum physics--and explains each topic in just 100 words.

"Get ready to play (and learn!) with your food! Discover how electricity is made, learn about the inner workings of atoms and conduct experiments with making waves, and more. Become a Kitchen Scientist by grasping gases using a home-made hot air balloon, learning about light to recreate a rainbow and mastering momentum with model cars! The Physics of Popcorn uses applied science for a fun and interactive approach to learning for the whole family....

"On November 25th, 1915, Albert Einstein published his field equations of general relativity and reinvented gravity. Rather than being some mysterious unseen force pulling objects together, gravity, Einstein told the world, is a manifestation of the curvature of space-time caused by the presence of massive objects. But Einstein's theory wasn't born in a vacuum, not even the vacuum of space. Instead, the theory of general relativity relies upon complicated...

This title provides an overview of matter and physical changes. Text includes a simple overview of matter and examines properties, states, phases, and atoms. Atomic theory is introduced. Information is explained using real-world examples and supported with graphics and photos. This book concludes with two simple, kid-friendly experiments. Aligned to Common Core standards and correlated to state standards.--

"If your "goal" is to learn how STEM is a big part of the sport of soccer, this book is for you. This incredible game of skill and stamina is also one of science. How does the soccer ball bend like that? Why does the ball look like that? What makes that goalie so good? This book tackles all this and more. STEM in Soccer explores the effects of all the forces acting on a soccer ball, including the phenomenon known as the Magnus effect. STEM lovers...
