Geared for younger kids, focusing on how forces are at work in everday life.

This book, I would recommend this to my younger groups. This book would be a great fit for a science classroom because it allows students to observe and consider the different forces that they encounter on a daily basis. this book shows detailed vocabulary, great illustrations, and easy science experiments as well! I really enjoyed this book, and so would future students! ( )

If I were to teach science this would be a great book to read. I loved the fun that was incorporated, and how it made it much easier to learn about forces. I also like that the book focused on different forces and not just one. The forces that it included were friction, magnetism, gravity, and how they worked in our everyday lives. ( )

The book is easy to read, contains many examples students can relate, and the ideas are easily understood. In addition, the pictures are very colorful and detailed. The characters in the book are diverse. Since force can be a pretty hard topic for some students to understand, this book would be great to read before the lesson or after to sum everything up. ( )

This book teaches the reader about the different kinds of forces. Instead of focusing on one specific force (gravity, magnetism, friction, etc.) this book gives an overview of how forces work in our every day lives. I liked how it used examples like bicycles, soccer, tug-of-war, and jumping for the reader to relate to. These examples allowed the reader to apply their knowledge to something outside of the book. Next time they ride a bike, jump, ride in a car, or see force in action somewhere else, they'll know the physical science behind it. I would use this book in a lesson about forces to introduce the different kinds and get students thinking about forces in our world. It's a difficult concept for young learners to wrap their heads around, but this book made it easier to understand and apply to real life. ( )
