In Motion

In Motion introduces students to the science of forces and motion, explaining the invisible forces that keep the world in motion. Through clear diagrams and engaging examples, the book explains how forces such as gravity and friction affect the movement of objects, from airplanes soaring through the sky to runners sprinting on a track. The scientific report is designed to foster an understanding of motion, making complex concepts accessible to young learners. The book encourages students to make connections between theory and real-life examples, while exploring how forces govern the natural world.
