About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is more interested in the scoreboard than the science lab, or when they start asking 'how' and 'why' about their favorite sports. It is the perfect bridge for a young athlete who might find traditional science textbooks dry but is hungry to understand the mechanics behind a winning goal. The book uses the high-speed world of hockey to explain complex physics concepts like friction, energy transfer, and aerodynamics. Through a vibrant graphic novel format, Hoena transforms the ice rink into a laboratory. It highlights the curiosity and wonder of discovery, making STEM accessible to elementary and middle schoolers. By the end, your child will see their sports gear and their own physical movements through a scientific lens, fostering both a sense of pride in their hobby and a deeper appreciation for the laws of physics that govern the world around them.
