All the activities in this book are based upon science principles, many of which are explained by Newton's laws. The spirit of Sir Issac is present on the pages of this book offering explanation, advice, additional information and encouragement The labs range from determining the characteristics of matter, experimenting with elastic matter, overcoming friction, discovering the laws of motion, making a pendulum and having fun with falling. Many of the Science Action Labs provide data tables and other additional information, and an answer key is provided. The materials are designed to encourage students to think and solve problems and, after all, isn't that what science is all about?
