Simple language and humorous illustrations show how forces make things move, prevent them from starting to move, and stop them from moving.

All matter is composed of atoms that combine in different ways, giving us the multitude of shapes and structures we observe on a daily basis.

Discusses forces such as air pressure, inertia, and gravity, and how they affect daily life.

This book explores forces, from simple pushes and pulls to the force of gravity that keeps our feet on the ground.

Explores the effects and energy of g-forces, and demonstrates the use of g-forces in amusement parks, racing, space exploration, and sports.

An illustrated introduction for early readers to the basic concepts of gravity, and discusses early roller coaster technology, how coasters make it to the top, record-breaking coasters, and other topics.

Explains concepts such as acceleration, force, friction, and gravity by using them in simple experiments, in such real-life settings as the bowling alley and supermarket.

Explores gravity, defining what it is, describing how it is measured, and providing information about scientist who made discoveries about the force.

This book explains how the concepts of gravity, force, and energy work together during a roller coaster ride.

Learn all about the disgusting and dreadful aspects of gravity. From blackouts caused by g-forces to toilet-troubles in space, this book is full of yucky, painful and fascinating facts.

Explains the concepts of work, gravity, and friction, describes machines and different kinds of pulleys, and includes simple experiments.

Examines the contributions of early scientists in the field of physics, discussing Galileo's observations of falling objects, Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravity, and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and the idea of a space-time continuum; and looks at the loss of the space shuttle "Columbia" and its crew, and the physics of space shuttle design.

Presents an introduction to gravity and force, explaining how they impact and shape everything that happens, and showing how the work of Sir Isacc Newton changed the way people look at the world, making concepts like friction and magnetism easy to understand.

Text and photographs provide information for young readers about the scientific concepts of force, gravity, and friction.

From using a can opener to riding a bicycle, all daily activities involve force and motion to some degree.
