Many objects float and sink. But what makes them move this way? And how do people use floating and sinking in their lives? Read this book to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the <strong>Exploring Physical Science</strong> series--part of the <strong>Lightning Bolt Books(TM) </strong>collection. With high-energy designs, exciting photos, and fun text, <strong>Lightning Bolt Books(TM) </strong>bring nonfiction topics to life!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Jellybean-bright backgrounds, large photographs, and brief texts will draw readers to this series. </strong><strong>The use of questions and image choices help to make the topics relevant and interesting</strong>. Scientific terminology is accurate and understandable although at times the examples, such as 'Stepping on the gas makes a car give off pollution, ' are over-simplified. Occasional photos miss the mark. <em>Attract and Repel</em> implies that coins are magnetic. Captions closely follow the text, missing opportunities to extend content. The concluding activity is simple and clear, but the suggested websites are often too advanced for the audience. --<em>School Library Journal, Series Made Simple</em><br /></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>Filled with large, engaging photos, each book is divided into subtopics that contain definitions, explanations, and several examples of the physical science principle. The end of each volume includes directions for completing an activity that illustrates the concept and prompts further thinking. Though content is slight, these books could serve as adequate introductions to their respective subjects. --<em>The Horn Book Guide</em></p>-- "Journal" (4/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>With simplistic text accompanied by vivid photographs, each title explains an area of physical science, such as force, motion, and density. Using real life examples, the author explains the topic in a meaningful way for young readers. Each title is organized into five sections, followed by a hands-on activity that demonstrates the book's subject. <strong>This series would be a welcome addition to school libraries' science section as well as elementary science classrooms. Recommended.</strong> --<em>Library Media Connection</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br>
