bethben Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 We are going to do physics next year for science. My main program will be a motorized machines pack from Lego Education. What other books/ curriculum would make this a more well rounded physics year? Thanks! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Stephen Hawking has out a book with one of his children - Lucy, I believe. I'm not sure what the name of it is, but I find his books very engaging so feel certain this one would be great for kids! And here are a few more you might try looking at: Motion and Gravity, Jeanne Bendick Gravity is a Mystery, Franklyn Branley (anything by him is good!) Which Way is Up? Gail Haines How Did We Find Out About Nuclear Power? Isaac Asimov Inside the Atom, Isaac Asimov (anything by Asimov is great!) What Magnets Can Do, Allan Fowler Magnetism: What it is and how Man has used it From Ancient Times to the Present, Raymond Holden Albert Einstein and Relativity, Steve Parker Why Doesn’t the Earth Fall Up? And Other not Such Dumb Questions About Motion, Vicki Cobb Ancient Machines: From Wedges to Waterwheels, Michael Woods The Science of a Light Bulb, Neville Evans Day Light, Night Light: Where Light Comes From, Franklyn Branley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 George's Secret Key to the Universe. It's great fun to read, and packed with scientific info : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 If you check out the books included in Sonlight Science 4 or Noeo physics I and II you can get a great list of possible books to include in your studies. Next year we are using SL sci 4 but I have plans to find the books Noeo uses at the library and read them too. Physics for every child by Janice VanCleave could give you lots of information and experiment ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
