Motion 

Kids just love to investigate what makes things stop and go! In this title, students will have the opportunity to conduct experiments that help them investigate pushing, pulling, and different types of motion. They will also get the chance to investigate concepts such as changing direction, slope, and friction. Using everyday items that kids can easily find around the house, young students will turn into scientists as they carry out step-by-step experiments to answer intriguing questions. Along the way, children will learn important science skills as they investigate motion, record their observations, and draw conclusions. Motion includes seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, great facts and background information, a "Conclusions" section to pull all the concepts in the book together, and a glossary of science words.
