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.

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.

Una polea es una máquina simple. Las máquinas simples facilitan el trabajo, como levantar cargas pesadas o mover cosas de arriba a abajo. Las poleas nos ayudan a levantar cosas que no podemos levantar solos. ¿Qué más puede hacer una polea?

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.

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!”

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.

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.

In 1934, Irene Curie, working with her husband and fellow scientist, Frederic Joliot, made a discovery that would change the world: artificial radioactivity. This breakthrough allowed scientists to modify elements and create new ones by altering the structure of atoms. Curie shared a Nobel Prize with her husband for their work. But when she was nominated to the French Academy of Sciences, the academy denied her admission and voted to disqualify all women from membership.

What kinds of solids can you see right now? Solids are a type of matter that is all around us. They can be heavy or weigh almost nothing. With age-appropriate critical thinking questions and carefully leveled text, young listeners will learn all about solids.

Do you like to gaze at the stars? So did the young Stephen Hawking. Eventually, he turned his fascination with the night sky into a career of trying to figure out how the universe began and how it works. As a child, Hawking loved the stars and he loved math class. In college, he studied physics and cosmology, or how the universe came to be. But then he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that shuts down the nerves that control muscles.

Have you ever used your imagination to solve a problem? When Albert Einstein was young, he was fascinated by the way magnetism made a compass work. As an adult, he used thought experiments to solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. Einstein loved to think about math and science. He worked for a while at a patent office, but his mind wasn't focused on inventions. Instead, he thought about the universe. In 1905, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity solved questions that scientists had grappled with for hundreds of years.
