3) Whirlpools
Author
Series
Summary
Whirlpools-swirling vortexes in the ocean sometimes capable of capsizing entire ships-have long been featured in legend as the work of sea monsters or as gateways to other worlds. We now know that they are normal oceanic currents, usually caused by tides. This attractive volume concisely examines the natural and human-made conditions that create whirlpools, eddies, and more, providing a window into the field of oceanography for an elementary audience....

Summary
"In this engaging title, young readers learn about the moving form of energy that is motion! The relationship of mass and acceleration is explained, as are the forces of downforce, updraft, friction, inertia, centripetal force, and the role of aerodynamics in managing these forces. These properties are illustrated by the running of car races. Colorful infographics make internal combustion, mass and acceleration, and centripetal force easily accessible,...
Summary
What scientific principle keeps coming up and up when designing Disney's theme park attractions? Trajectory! The Imagineers demonstrate how forces and motion play a leading role in creating rides like California Adventure's California Screamin' and Toy Story Midway Mania. Learn the definitions of projectile and Trajectory, see how Newton's First Law of Motion relates to these principles, and how to apply the physics of motion to predict and control...
