DK Can You Feel The Force?
A fun, quirky look at the weird and wonderful side of physics, Can You Feel the Force? explores the physics of everyday things - from how balloons stretch and stick to walls, to why the sky is blue, to why stars twinkle.
Designed to appeal equally to children who are intimidated by science and those who love it, Can you Feel the Force? is not just a reference book - it's interactive with fun activities to try at home. Inside the pages are age appropriate text and experiments that will determine what's the best seat on a roller coaster, why does bubble gum stretch, why do fighter pilots have to wear specially tightened underwear, and why the world looks weird when you drive a car at the speed of light. Discover the recipe for slime, the secret of piercing a balloon without bursting it, and find out how to stick objects together with nothing but the magical force of friction; plus learn the ideas and discoveries of Galileo, Newton, Franklin and other key players in the defining principles and laws of physics.
Clear, exciting images and engaging text will make physics understandable and make kids curious to learn more in Can you Feel the Force?

for use with 7th, 8th Grade, or 9th grader needing basic review.
AGS textbooks are not overwhelming but of quality. This text covers Physical (8 chapters), Earth (9 chapters), Life (5 chapters), and Human Body (2 chapters). This is a secular text and contains evolution in chapter 22; also in chapter 13 you will find things like trilobites that are 500 million years old. Looking through the text though I do not see that evolution permeates the text as it does in so many secular books. This is an option for 7th, 8th grade or for a 9th grader who is behind in science. Text is 24 chapters long w/596 pages.
(The Physical Science section in this text is 8 chapters long and very similar to the Physical Science text below which contains 12 chapters)
