Reviews for Motion

[kfrost32 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book begins by going over what motion is and all the different ways that we see it is our every day lives. It then goes into what inertia is and how children might see or cause this during the day. It does a great job of explaining how gravity plays a roll, as well as friction. A major point that it makes that is very good for children to learn is that although it might net feel like it, we are always in constant motion because the earth is always spinning. I think it would be a good book to use to spark up thoughts and questions that children might have about motion.

This is a great informational text that identifies complex and often difficult concepts such as inertia by including a variety of visuals and examples for the reader. This would be a great book to include in a motion unit for students and myself to be able to reference back to.
