Books in Exploring Science: Earth Science series

Everything in the universe is made up of tiny particles called atoms, which combine to make molecules. Elements, such as iron or nitrogen, are made up of a single kind of atom. Atoms of different elements can also join together to make a new substance. For example, a molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Learn about the discoveries of physicists and chemists while you explore the invisible world of atoms and molecules.

The world is filled with people, vehicles, and other objects that are constantly in motion. After studying the force of gravity in the late 1600s, English scientist Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion that described an object’s inertia and friction. His third law was the basis for the well-known phrase "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Whether you are walking to school, playing a sport, or riding a roller coaster, these laws of motion govern the way we live.
