Includes bibliographical references (page 116) and index. "Features graphic novel illustrations, sidebars, youtube links, and a glossary of important vocabulary to bring the complex world of physics to life. Inquiry-based, age-appropriate projects include designing a skateboard park that maps the forces at work--both on the skateboarder and on the skateboard--and creating an electroscope to detect electric charges around your house or school"--Back cover.

From the Publisher

Age range 12 to 15

Have you ever noticed that the physical world works in certain ways? When you push an object it moves. Skateboarders use force and motion to perform tricks. If you jump up as high as you can, you'll quickly fall back to the ground. Baseball players use gravity to bring the ball back down when they throw it. When you flip a switch, electricity powers your toaster. Rock bands use electricity to put on a show. The fascinating science of physics helps you understand why forces, motion, gravity, electricity, light, and sound work in predictable ways.
