PHYSICS: INVESTIGATE THE FORCES OF NATURE

Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00024

English Summary/英文概要： Have you ever noticed that the physical world works in certain ways? 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.

Combining inquiry-based activities with physics topics, Physics: Investigate the Forces of Nature features graphic novel illustrations, fascinating sidebars, youtube links, and a glossary of important vocabulary to illuminate the complex world of physics and bring it to life. Projects include designing a skateboard park that maps the forces at work on the skateboarder and the skateboard, and creating a stage design for a rock band that places electric current where it is needed. Additional materials include a timeline, a list of current reference works, and Internet resources.

This title meets Common Core State Standards for literacy in science and technology; Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你是否注意到物质世界以特定的方式运行?滑板者使用力量和动作来表演花样。如果你跳得越高越好，你很快就会掉回地面。棒球运动员在扔球时利用重力使球落下来。当你按下开关，电就会给你的烤面包机供电。摇滚乐队用电来进行表演。迷人的物理学帮助你理解为什么力、运动、重力、电、光和声音以可预测的方式工作。

Awards/获奖情况：Physics: Investigate the Mechanics of Nature Publishers Weekly "Part of the Inquire and Investigate series, this interactive introduction to physics aims to give readers a working understanding of such topics as motion, electricity, and magnetism, presented through comics-style panels, allusions, and experiments. . . Physics computations are kept to a minimum, with the focus instead on providing a general familiarity with overarching ideas and sparking interest through hands-on methods."

Swon Libraries Recommends ”this an excellent choice for students interested in or studying physics in middle grade science."

National Science Teachers Association Recommends “. . . The investigations will make ‘physics come alive’ for students with the real life applications. The projects would be perfect for science fairs, classroom projects, and for parents to complete at home with children. There is a complete glossary and resource guide including websites, books, and periodicals. The content supports the NGSS Standards. . .This book is a well–written resource for classroom teachers, students, and parents.”
