Editorial Reviews

04/01/2024

Gr 6–8—Middle school students can explore definitions of work, energy, power, and force in this set on physical science. Explanations of energy transfer, the laws that govern the transformation of energy, and how simple machines can be used to make work more efficient are among the topics covered. Illustrations, diagrams, and photos help readers visualize types of energy, applications of force, and the difference between simple and compound machines. Some of the titles include a glossary, while others define terms within the main text. Some contradictions and errors are present in the text. In Machine vs. Man there is bonus content about the tools used in carpentry. VERDICT This series could be a supplementary purchase to support physics lessons or for classroom review. A concern is the lack of racial diversity in the images; there are few people of color in the photos or illustrations.
