Elementary Physical Science ~ Finally a science book that completely integrates a Christan Worldview with scientific facts!

Forces and Motion: From High-speed Jets to Wind-up Toys
(Investigate the Possibilities)

With 20 hands-on activities that will ignite a sense of curiosity about the wonderful world God has made, this new Investigate the Possibilities series for 3rd through 6th grade, makes elementary physical science come alive! Concepts are introduced in an engaging way - by highlighting the science behind kids at play, like rollerskating, skateboarding, and even running. By guiding students through these easy to understand investigations, they learn to explain, apply, expand, and assess what they have personally observed.

Each investigation gives children a chance to learn more about some part of God's creation. In every lesson, your child will be introduced to something that is interesting ~ they will do an investigation, they will find a scientific explanation for what happened, they will be able to apply this knowledge to other situations and ideas, they will have opportunities to expand what they learned, and there will be multiple assessments... making science lots of fun!

Children Will Learn How-to:

• Determine the speed and motion of favorite toys.
• Create a catapult and experience the mechanics of pulleys.
• Set up a floating pencil race.
• Discover why friction creates heat.
