This cleverly produced, hands-on picture book is the perfect choice for children who prefer to learn through activities and experiments, without requiring any extra materials or apparatus.

That’s right, Hands-on Science: Motion is all the material you will need. Each page comes with clear instructions for the reader so that when they turn the page, they can see what their imaginary action has done. The realistic imagery will make young children between the ages of four and eight feel like they really have poked, tilted and shaken the illustrated materials off the page. The subtle movements that the reader needs to make with or on the book are explained succinctly so that children will be able to carry out each virtual activity without being confused. Just by slightly tilting the book towards their toes and turning the page, they will learn how two bean bags on different surfaces are impacted by friction and gravity. As you turn the ‘physics lab door’ page at the end of Hands-on Science: Motion, an outdoor scene shows some of the physical forces you have just experimented with taking place in daily life.

This book is a mess-free introduction to simple physics that will help young readers better understand every action that occurs around them. And if this interactive read has put you in the mood for a practical experiment, there are instructions at the end for a real-life simple physics experiment with materials you may already have in the home.
