When times are tough, you pull yourself up and push yourself to the top ... of a beanstalk ... where you might get schooled in forces and motion by a STEM-loving giant named Dennis. At least that's what happens to Jack in this delicious twist on a classic fairy tale, supported by critical thinking questions and a glossary of key physics terms.
Escaping from a tall tower using one's hair is SO fairy-tale old school. THIS STEM-smart Rapunzel uses the brain beneath her hair to educate her prince (and readers) on the ways the science of simple machines can save the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions reinforce the story's key physics concepts.
This series introduces simple science topics using everyday objects and situations that readers can recognize in the world around them. This title looks at forces: what they are, what effects they have, how friction affects them and what effects different surfaces have.
The Garbage Gang builds a bowling alley, and they meet Gordy's bowling ball, Beau. Beau likes to knock down pins, so the gang wonders, "Are bowling balls bullies?" Fortunately, Beau helps them learn all about forces and motion, and soon they discover the answer to their burning question.
