About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child asks 'How did I do that?' after a big soccer goal or a high jump on the basketball court. It is the perfect tool for bridging the gap between a child's love of physical activity and their natural curiosity about how the world works. By explaining the mechanics of energy through the lens of familiar sports, the book validates a child's physical achievements while introducing fundamental scientific concepts. This nonfiction guide is ideal for 6 to 9 year olds who are starting to participate in organized sports and are ready to understand the 'why' behind their performance. It fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment by showing children that their bodies are amazing machines. Parents will appreciate how it turns a backyard game into a living laboratory, making complex ideas like potential and kinetic energy accessible and fun.
