  Part of a series designed as an introduction to science enquiry methods, this book investigates the many forces involved in making objects move. Activities using spinning, rolling and sudden stops and starts are included to demonstrate these forces. Through using levers and pullies, children learn how simple machines make lifting easy. The activities are designed to strengthen each theme. They are carefully measured to the abilities of the younger child and so that they fall within their experiences. This book, through its topic approach, covers aspects of the National Science Curriculum for Key Stage 1 (Levels 1 to 3) for the following attainment targets: AT1 exploration of science, AT6 Types and uses of materials, AT10 Forces, AT13 Energy.
