Physics: Why Matter Matters!

Physics? With cute characters? Huh? What is going on here? 

As a "wordy" learner, I often got that glazed-over look of being far, far away whenever anything related to physics was brought up in conversation, or worse, class.  One of my worst grades in school? Introduction to Physical Sciences in the 8th grade.

Well, if I'd had this neat-o book created by Basher and written by Dan Green, I would have probably gotten at least a better basic understanding of some of the principles of physics.

This little gem of a non fiction book reads much like a Pokemon catalog; it has a very colorful and simple format, with large print and not too many details. Each aspect of physics is assigned to a (scientifically appropriate) group and given a cartoonish icon. Mild personification helps the reader better grasp what each aspect actually does in the real world.

For any kid interested in physics, or any person wishing to catch up, I recommend this book.
This book is available to Greensboro Day School students and families from the Lower School Library.
