There's more to the amusement park than rides and cotton candy. Fascinating scientific principles are at play, and this book is bursting with a wealth of carnival attractions related to physics and gravity. Fun facts, accompanied by different activities and pictures to color, introduce kids to inertia and velocity on the log ride, centripetal force on the Ferris wheel, and momentum on the roller coaster, along with loads of other interesting effects. Suitable for ages 8 to 12.
