| Explore Gravity! by Cindy BlobaumHow can something that grounds us and keeps us here on this earth be so invisible and mysterious? We're not talking about anything abstract and undetectable. We're talking about GRAVITY! Gravity is a force that affects everyone and everything.
Gravity is something we can easily understand, even kids, especially if they have the right tools to teach them.
Explore Gravity! With 25 Great Projects will introduce kids ages 6-9 to the basics of gravity, including concepts
of matter, attraction, and gravitational pull. Read more: https://go.gov.sg/scb-forces-p-ebook1 |
| Gravity Is Bringing Me Down by Wendelin Van DraanenGravity becomes a very personal problem for a girl as she stumbles and tumbles through a long day. When Leda wakes up by falling out of bed, she knows that gravity is in a very bad mood. Again. Sure enough, she struggles with stumbles
and bumbles at home, trips and blips on the bus, and bashes and crashes in the classroom. But a lesson on gravity helps her understand what’s really going on. And after a visit to a science center, Leda's mood is lifted...just
in time for her to tumble— happily!—into bed.

 | Isaac Newton and
the Laws of Motion by Jordi Bayarri DolzIsaac Newton’s youth was marked by constant curiosity. As he began a life of research and experiments, he turned this curiosity into major insights about the
workings of the Earth and the universe. He even developed three laws to explain the motions of objects. This graphic biography moves from Newton’s childhood inventions to the breakthrough theories of his adult life. It also spotlights his time at England’s Royal Mint, where he combatted counterfeiting, and his gift of knighthood from Queen Anne. Read more: https://go.gov.sg/scb-forces-p-ebook5 |

image | Things That Float
and Things
That Don’t by David A. AdlerIt can be surprising which objects float and which don’t. An apple floats, but a ball of aluminum foil does not. If that same ball of foil is shaped into a boat, it floats! Why? And how is it possible that a huge ship made of steel
can float?
Answering these questions about density and flotation is David A. Adler’s clear, concise text, paired with Anna Raff’s delightful illustrations. Activities that demonstrate the properties of flotation are included. Read more: https://go.gov.sg/scb-forces-p-ebook8 |
