Description

Equip the next generation of scientists with a brand new series from Chris Ferrie, the #1 science author for kids!

Red Kangaroo is playing with her favorite ball—she throws it into the air and it comes back down. But what makes this happen? She knows that Dr. Chris will have the answer! Soon, Red Kangaroo learns about force, mass, and acceleration—and that Newton's Laws are at work anytime anything moves!

Chris Ferrie offers a kid-friendly introduction to Newtonian physics in this installment of his new Everyday Science Academy series. Written by an expert, with real-world and practical examples, young readers will have a firm grasp of scientific and mathematical concepts to help answer many of their "why" questions.

Perfect for elementary-aged children and supports the Common Core Learning Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) standards.

About the author

Contributor Notes
