How do you move objects from one position to another? This fun book explains how a force, such as a push or a pull, can put an object in motion. Simple activities show how a force can move an object that is not moving or stop one that is.

Some objects must be made of certain kinds of materials to make them work the way they should. Read about how the properties of different materials, such as their hardness or weight, help make an object fit the job it is made for.

Chemicals are all around us. We can see, smell, taste hear and touch them all the time. Chemicals are not just things that a scientist uses in a laboratory. There are chemicals in the food you eat at lunch, the soap you use to wash your hands and the fizzing bubbles you can hear when you open a can of lemonade. Turn the pages of this book to find out about chemicals, what they are and how they interact with each other to create the Universe we live in. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and it is not just for scientists. The existence of the whole Universe, including us and our daily lives, can all be described with the wonderful scientific facts that make up the topics included in STEM. In this series, you will find out how easy STEM is to understand, and also discover how you can see it in action every second of every day.

Explore the ups and downs of gravity in this introduction to physical science by a trusted nonfiction team. What happens to a ball when it rolls off a table? It falls to the floor. Why doesn't the ball keep rolling straight ahead or fly up off the table? The answer is gravity. From density to inertia to free fall, David A. Adler skillfully explains how this invisible, but all too real force operates and what it means for our daily lives. Notable science experiments by Sir Isaac Newton and astronaut David R. Scott are covered. Also included are activities for kids to test at home and in the classroom. Anna Raff's bright and humorous artwork helps breakdown the concepts in a kid-friendly way. A glossary concludes the work.
