Books in Pebble Plus: Physical Science series

Motors, computers, and compasses all use magnetism to work properly. Its also an important force in electricity. Readers will be introduced to the basics of magnetism, including Earths magnetic field, attraction, and repulsion, as well as the pioneering scientists who discovered and worked with magnetism and their exciting experiments. Colorful photographs enhance each section, and fascinating fact boxes add even more detail to the curriculum-based science content. Thorough examples draw from readers experience and everyday situations to drive home important points. From electromagnetism to magnetometers, readers will definitely feel the pull of new knowledge!

Over the past few hundred years, the introduction of electricity has changed how people live all over the worldso much so that many cant imagine life without it! The earliest experiments with electricity, like those done by Ben Franklin and William Gilbert, will fascinate readers as they learn the basics of electricity, from atoms to circuits. Exemplified by familiar situations and items, the main science content supplements what readers will encounter in the classroom, including history as well as future energy sources such as wind and solar power. Vivid photographs and additional fact boxes make learning about science simply electrifying!

Learning about forces and motion is thrilling! Cyclists battle gravity to climb steep hills. Fighter pilots wear special suits to combat incredible g-forces. Even simple machines have cool uses on construction sites! Readers will learn all about gravity, friction, and more through explanations using both familiar and extraordinary situations. Bright, colorful photographs will keep readers engaged as the forces are shown at work in exciting ways, such as in skydiving, rollercoaster construction, and super-fast cars. Incredible fact boxes add even more detail to the science curriculum-based main content, which includes famous discoveries such as Newtons laws of motion. With all this new knowledge, readers will be in for quite a ride!
