Get Moving!

Sports and other kinds of fun movement make us feel good and energized, and are great to do with friends and family. But they also have a lot of science involved if you look closely! In this title, readers explore what bouncing a ball, jumping rope, hula hoops, and throwing a baseball have to do with science. Each experiment or activity includes an explanation of the scientific concept to be tested, a list of materials, set up information, and a step-by-step guide to performing the experiment. "Extras" and science fair project ideas conclude most experiments as give students ideas for expanding each project.
