Science Readers: Motion

Motion is an informational text that explores the concepts of friction, drag, and Newton’s Laws of Motion. The book concludes with an experiment investigating different forces using hard-boiled eggs.

The book is divided in chapters and contains a table of contents, glossary, and index. Sentences vary in length and structure.  Captioned and labelled photographs and illustrations support the text.

Content-specific terminology such as friction, drag, forces, inertia, property, mass, reaction, acceleration, and momentum, is defined in context and in the glossary. Some new vocabulary is followed by the pronunciation in brackets.
