Wer sich mit Einstein in einen Fahrstuhl begibt, lernt nicht nur den berühmtesten Physiker aller Zeiten kennen, sondern erlebt auch ungeahnte Abenteuer: Angenommen, das Seil des Fahrstuhls reißt. Dann zeigt eine Waage, auf der beide vielleicht stehen, nichts mehr an! Können sie dann überhaupt wissen, dass sie wirklich nach unten fallen und nicht etwa schwerelos im All schweben? Mit Experimenten und Versuchen zum Ausprobieren werden die Hörer anschaulich in die Grundlagen der Mechanik eingeführt.

See what pulls and pushes can do through several examples of forces and motion in everyday life. Pair this nonfiction title with its fiction companion book, Milo and the Ball.

Learn about different states of matter by examining water as liquid, solid, and gas. Pair this nonfiction title with its fiction companion book, Making Tea.

Did you know that Albert Einstein was a high-school dropout and that he failed his physics class when he finally made it to college? Or that when he died, his brain and eyeballs were removed from his body? Have you ever wondered why his hair looked so wild? Siblings Paige and Turner have - and they’ve collected some of the kookiest and most unusual facts about him, from his childhood and school days through his time studying relativity and working on the atomic bomb. 

Examines wedges, explains their functions, and suggests simple experiments to demonstrate how they work.

Sound is a travelling wave transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies that our ears can hear. This audiobook explores sound and it's secrets.

Light is electromagnetic radiation, particularly radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye. This audiobook explores lights and it's secrets.

Sound is made up of tiny vibrations. Learn how different vibrations create different sounds! With age-appropriate critical thinking questions and carefully leveled text, young readers will learn all about sound.

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.

Did you know that light has energy? It helps us see in the dark, it brings color to our world, and it moves through the air faster than sound! With age-appropriate critical thinking questions and carefully leveled text, young listeners will learn all about light while building nonfiction listening skills.

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.

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.

Matter introduce young scientists to the basics of matter! This nonfiction book introduces listeners to the basics of physical matter, including information on the states of matter.

Magnetism is a book about magnetism for early learners.
