The Science of Forces

By Mary Colson

Book Overview

Forces move everything around us. That may sound scary and complicated, but this book shows readers that forces like friction and other laws of motion can be fascinating and fun! Innovative flowcharts bring these abstract concepts to life via brilliant photographs matched with fact boxes showing readers how the moon impacts tides on Earth, and how magnetic forces act on matter throughout the universe. From the tectonic plates that move Earth's crust to the forces rockets must overcome to leave Earth's atmosphere and reach outer space, there are plenty of fantastic forces to explore in this informative book.
