Eyewitness: Force and Motion
More Information on
Eyewitness Books
an outstanding and original Eyewitness Guide.
The world is constantly in motion created by force and, in an unending
cycle, that motion is converted into yet more force. This collection of
superb photographs and expert text vividly brings to life the forces that
keep the world moving.
If you have ever wondered how ancient cultures moved huge weights over
vast distances, or transferred water uphill to irrigate arid regions, all
is revealed in this book. How we can harness force efficiently in order to
create motion has intrigued engineers and scientists for centuries.
Archimedes, Galileo, and Newton all made significant discoveries, creating
basic laws still used today as the basis of our understanding of the
world's physical forces.
Featuring historic scientific apparatus and ground-breaking experiments
and discoveries, Force & Motion is a unique and exciting new look
at this fascinating subject.
8.5" x 11" 64 Pages. Hardback.

Eyewitness: Matter
More Information on
Eyewitness Books
It is all around us - we are made of it -
everything, everywhere is made up of some form of matter. Some of the
earliest scientific experiments attempted to find out what the things
around us are made of, and today we are still discovering new forms and
combinations of matter.
In theory, the total amount of mass and energy, or matter, in the universe
never changes. In this book you will see all the different forms that
matter can take, the properties of liquids, solids, and gases, the
structure of crystals, and how we order the elements in the periodic
table. See how carbon is present in millions of different compounds, and
learn about molecular and atomic structure.
Featuring historic scientific apparatus and ground-breaking experiments
and discoveries.

Science Fair Projects - Energy
Energy is everywhere!
Without even taking a step you can see a dozen kinds: Solar. Heat. Light.
Fluid. Sound. Pressure. Electrical. Chemical. Mechanical. Magnetic.
Electromagnetic. Gravity. And many more. You'll find 55 science fair
projects here, and all are designed as "around-you-science," based on ideas
you find right where you are. Every experiment is clearly explained and illustrated. Just remember,
the greatest form of energy of all is--your curiosity! Ages 10 and up.
8.25" x 11" 96 pages. 120 b/w illustrations.

Awesome Experiments in Force and Motion
The force is with us--as these experiments in force and motion prove!
Demonstrate inertia with a Card Shot trick. Use a cardboard rocket ship to
find the center of gravity, and your own "great salt lake" to display
buoyancy. Crush an empty can with the power of air pressure. Other
experiments include a water tower that shows the push and pull of air
currents, and balloon cars that create motion madness. Ordinary, easy-to
find materials are all you need to get moving on these fun-filled
investigations. 6" x 9" 160 pages. 50 b/w illus.
