Young listeners will learn how light works and where it comes from in this accessible audiobook. Basic science concepts are discussed, and kids are encouraged to explore light in the world around them.

Young listeners will learn how pliers grip and hold objects in their jaws. Also, find out how pliers also work as levers.

Albert Einstein: His name has become a synonym for genius. His wild case of bedhead and playful sense of humor made him a media superstar - the first, maybe only, scientist-celebrity. He wasn’t much for lab work - in fact, he had a tendency to blow up experiments. What he liked to do was think - not in words, but in "thought experiments". What was the result of all his thinking? Nothing less than the overturning of Newtonian physics. Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute look at one of the true giants of science and the turbulent times in which he lived.

What was Isaac Newton like? Secretive, vindictive, withdrawn, obsessive, and oh, yes, brilliant. His imagination was so large that, just “by thinking on it”, he invented calculus and figured out the scientific explanation of gravity. Yet Newton was so small-minded that he set out to destroy other scientists who dared question his findings. This compelling portrait of Newton, contradictions and all, places him against the backdrop of 17th-century England, a time of plague, the Great Fire of London, and two revolutions.

Gravity is the force on Earth that keeps things from floating into space. If we drop a dish, it will fall to the ground. If we jump into the air, we will come back down.

This fun, fact-filled audiobook will teach kids that there are six different simple machines that make our lives easier including: a lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge and screw. Upbeat music will teach kids that simple machines only need a person so make them work.

This fact-filled audiobook will teach young science enthusiasts about protons, neutrons, and electrons. Kids will learn that the smallest part of all matter is made up of what scientists call atoms; and that each atom has three particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Upbeat music will engage listeners and help them understand important scientific terms in a fun way.

Kids will learn that physics is a special science that studies all about matter, how it moves and affects other things. Physics explores our world and explains how a seesaw works, how hot air rise, and how sound waves travel. Young scientists will learn that physics explains how electricity works, how magnets attract, and how light travels in waves. Fun music will have kids singing and learning about this fascinating science.

Did you know that the sun is a star? Without the sun’s light and heat, there would be no live on Earth. Kids will learn why the sun is so important to us in this musical audiobook perfect for young scientists.

Kids will learn that anything that takes up space is made of matter. A shirt is made of matter. A house is made of matter. A pet is made of matter. Fascinating lyrics and upbeat music will encourage kids to learn all about the concept of “matter!”

Kids will learn all the colors that make up white light are called the “spectrum.” These are the colors of a rainbow. Fun music will help explain that a prism is a special shaped piece of glass that breaks white light into seven colors. As the light passes through the prism it bends each color so we see all the colors separated from one another when the light comes out of the prism.

Young science enthusiasts will learn that in physics, any kind of a force is a push or a pull. Forces make things begin to move. Forces can also make things slow down. Real life examples help kids understand the concept of “forces” including friction with fun music and engaging lyrics in this fact-filled audiobook.

Do you know what electricity is? Fun lyrics and engaging sound effects will teach young physicists that electricity is a kind of energy that gives us light, heat, and power. This fun audiobook will encourage kids to explore the wonders of electricity.

There are so many things that a physicist can study. It really depends on what they are interested in the most. Young science enthusiasts will explore many options that a physicist can study with upbeat, fun music and interesting lyrics, in this fact-filled audiobook.
