Lead kids into un-plugged fun with a new kind of chapter book! Serious upper elementary science- motion, force, energy, and more - big kid science sparked at story time.

Join the team of 10-year-old children who are active problem-solvers. Explore physical science along with the twins Gabriela and Mateo and their next-door neighbor Echo. In each story, the kids face a new question or problem. Through play and imaginative experimentation, readers are introduced to lessons on:

• Motion and Stability
• Reflection and Refraction of Light
• Electromagnetic Radiation
• Structure of the Eye
• Balanced and Unbalanced Forces with Air Pressure
• Weather Patterns
• Amplitude, Wavelength, and Frequency in Waves
• Information Transfer Using Compression Waves
• Transverse Waves, and Patterns
• Properties of Gravity
• Center of Balance

There are no kits to buy. Science is in our daily lives and most supplies are already in your home. These are not dry books with complicated lessons. The action is hands-on with plenty of time spent in fresh air and sunshine.

As an educator in public schools and at the college level, Martha Wiley's work included math, physics, technology, and education methods for future teachers. She has learned that reading an engaging story with relatable characters is a strong way to introduce science topics - matching NGSS grade-level standards.
