(4) 4-6 Essential Physical Science series. Accurately if somewhat jumpily, these question-and-answer-format books explain and illustrate their title principles. Topics such as clashing forces and uses for evaporation are covered on crammed spreads including several blocks of text, color photos with boxed captions, diagrams, and sidebars. Each book contains three experiments, some more practical than others. Overall, these are browsable, useful overviews. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Essential Physical Science titles: Forces of Energy, Magnetism, and Solids, Liquids, and Gases.

(4) 4-6 Essential Physical Science series. The authors cover the basic physics of these two forms of energy, including explanations of how we see and hear and the ways in which humans use related technologies. Cluttered, brightly colored layouts feature the main text and additional facts in asides, boxes, and captions to the photos and diagrams. Several activities exploring sound and light concepts are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
