Friendly Physical Science Textbook

How do pulleys make it easier to lift heavy objects? Why does a ramp make it easier to go to a higher level? How does the spring in a pogo stick allow you to jump and jump and jump again? Friendly Physical Science answers these questions (and many more) using straight forward narration and more than 300 colorful diagrams and photos. Abstract ideas are made concrete through hands-on design engineering and lab activities.
