For Newton’s second law-force = mass x acceleration-kids help out a bicycle rider, and the force of gravity is accomplished as kids pull a dropped ice-cream scoop toward the ground. The second part of the law of inertia, which states that an object in motion will keep moving until something stops it, is demonstrated through a tab that moves a sliding sled with two little girls aboard into a fluffy snowbank.

Newton’s first law-inertia-is introduced with a simple sentence that “an object will stay still unless something pushes or pulls on it.” Accompanying this explanation is an image of a boy kicking a ball to his dog. He noticed that everything could be explained by three simple laws.” While Newton ponders, he gazes out of a window where children can move a wheel to make birds fly in the air and fish swim in a lake. Readers meet Isaac Newton as “a man who liked to watch the world around him.

Children will also be able to apply the knowledge they gain within these pages to other activities they perform every day. Examples for each law come straight from a child’s day of play or experience to make them easily understood. In this clever and interactive board book, young readers can learn about Newton’s three laws of physics through wheels to spin, tabs to pull, and elements to push that introduce “big words” and other vocabulary that budding scientists will be proud to learn. Books like these make great gifts not only for science buffs but for all kids! Physics Animated Written by Tyler Jorden | Illustrated by Elsa Martinsįrom that moment when Isaac Newton was hit on the head by a falling apple, people have been fascinated with physics. Introducing young children to the way things work in nature and through engineering helps them make sense of what they see and experience in their everyday life. Today and tomorrow I will be celebrating Read a New Book Month with books that present the excitement and wonder of science through familiar activities and objects.
