Get Moving!: 10 Fun Experiments about Sports and Movement

Sports and other kinds of fun movement make us feel good and energized, and are great to do with friends and family. But they also have a lot of science involved if you look closely! In this title, readers explore what bouncing a ball, jumping rope, hula hoops, and throwing a baseball have to do with science. Each experiment or activity includes an explanation of the scientific concept to be tested, a list of materials, set up information, and a step-by-step guide to performing the experiment. "Extras" and science fair project ideas conclude most experiments as give students ideas for expanding each project.
