Author Description

"Motion helps teach the key outcomes in the area of Physical Science. In twenty five self-contained lessons, it covers friction, pedulums and energy, buoyancy and forces, distance, speed, time and gravity. Each lesson is highly illustrated, and has students involved on 'hands on' experiments. Selective report writing and research are also included. In addition to the main lessons, there are ten extension pages, a teacher manual (inlcuding answers to student questions) a 'Did you understand the key concepts?' story. Each lesson specifies the equipment needed for experiments, which are commonplace and inexpensive everyday objects. Motion is an excellent toll for the science curriculum."--Publisher's website (www.curriculum.edu.au)
