[Emily Bronte · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun and easy to follow book for kids (and adults ) to explore the science of friction. The experiments are simple, hands on, and use everyday materials, which makes them perfect for classrooms or at home learning. It explains the concepts clearly while still keeping things engaging. A great pick for sparking curiosity about physics
