Motion, Forces, and Energy, as a part of the Glencoe Science 15-Book Series, provides students with accurate and comprehensive coverage of forces and Newton’s laws. The strong content coverage integrates a wide range of hands-on experiences, critical-thinking opportunities, and real-world applications. The modular approach allows you to mix and match books to meet your curricula.
Students in an introductory physics class learn a variety of different, and seemingly unconnected, concepts. Gravity, the laws of motion, forces and fields, the mathematical nature of the science - all of these are ideas that play a central role in understanding physics. And one thing that connects all of these physical concepts is the impetus the great scientists of the past had to develop them - the desire to understand the motion of the planets of the solar system. This desire led to the revolutionary work of Copernicus and Galileo, Kepler and Newton. And their work forever altered how science is practiced and understood.
When Angelina finds an injured butterfly in the park, she takes it home to care for it . . . then doesn’t want to part with it. It’s Henry who sets an adventure in motion that underscores a message all young children can understand.
