Gymnasts seem to defy the laws of physics when they twist in the arm, balance themselves on one hand, or fly across the floor in back handsprings. The truth is that they're using the laws of physics to their advantage--and they're incredibly strong and skilled! In this book, young gymnasts can learn the science behind their skills, including the laws of motion and gravity. Friendly characters, including a cute robot, help explain both how gymnastics skills work and the science concepts.
