Motion and Forces
by Tamra Orr
Review by Cesar
"Motion and Forces" says in the text that there are many forces but the basic forces are Kinetic and Potential. Kinetic means moving and potential means still because no force is being applied. Forces were discovered by both Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton. Gravity is a force discovered by Galileo; while he slept he was awoken up by an apple that fell onto this head and that's when he discovered gravity. He said "If there wasn't gravity pulling you down you would've floated up instead of down". Isaac Newton also discovered Prisms can bend light into colors. I recommend this book to all ages because this can help everybody with both science and history.
Cesar, I appreciate how you informed us that this book would be cross-curricular, pertaining both to science and history. These types of books help students make those connections between classrooms. Thank you for sharing! :0), Mrs. Haas

ReplyDeleteNewton was the one that discovered gravity.~Ethan
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave basic information about force to give a preview of what is found in the book. Great job.
