Discover the natural force of gravity in this colorful exploration of
the phenomenon that affects us all!
What's up? What's down? What's keeping you steady?
In Gravity: Mass, Energy, and the Force that Holds Things Together
with Hands-On Science Activities, scientists ages 8 to 12 explore the
invisible but powerful force that is responsible for keeping the entire
universe in place--including you! Gravity is the natural phenomenon that
makes everything in the universe attracted to everything else. On Earth,
that means gravity is why we fall down toward the ground, the reason we
have tides, and why we weigh a certain number of pounds.
Hands-on STEM activities, entertaining illustrations, essential
questions, text-to-world connections, fascinating sidebars, and links to
online resources and videos in this book are as forceful as gravity
itself! Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for
further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. Aligns with Common
Core state standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile and are
available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.
