  This series is directly aimed at the National Curriculum Science 5-16, levels 3 to 6. Each book has a structured development of its scientific content, giving the reader a progression through the topic. The books contain illustrated activities, accompanied by explanatory text. Process skills are tested, using the suggested record-keeping and self-assessments. This book discusses the range of forces experienced in daily life, from those which make things move to more complex forces like electrostatics and air resistance. It also looks at the forces present in surface tension and those which have to be considered in the building of structures such as bridges.
