This title introduces the reader to the ways in which forces are used in our everyday lives. Find out how forces make things move and change direction, learn about the effects of gravity, and discover how our knowledge of forces has led to the tools that we use today. This series is packed with the latest scientific information and is an ideal support for physics students at Key Stage 3 level. The series will also be of interest to older students. Fascinating feature boxes outline recent physics research and encourage the reader to look more closely at the world in which they live. Key concepts are brought to life with full colour illustrations and mini quizzes help to reinforce new ideas.
