Forces and Movement - Softcover

An introduction to the exciting world of physics, making critical concepts accessible by relating them through activities and ideas that are both familiar and appropriate An exploration of the different ways that we can move our bodies, this educational book teaches children to compare these movements with those in the world around them—such as those made by a slithering snake or a slinking cat. They are then asked to consider the different ways other things in the world move—a roundabout goes round and round, a see-saw goes up and down. The concepts of pushing and pulling are explored in depth and children are encouraged to experiment with these forces for themselves.
