If you have ever been to summer camp, this book will ring true for you in many ways. This book is told in graphic novel format, perhaps this will be the next BIGGEST science series since ‘Magic School Bus’.
While at summer camp, six of the campers learn about gravity, as it relates to their camping experiences, from their camp counselors. Gravity first comes into play, when the cuckoo clock in the dining hall is ‘wound’ by pulling the chains so gravity can pull on the weights which move its gears. Later, center of gravity and friction are experienced on the beach and in the lake, then explained by the counselor in the dining hall.
A pendulum’s speed and an objects weight with regards to gravity are also explained.
Includes: 2 experiments with explanation, Mysterious Words (glossary), and 5 stated facts about gravity under the heading- “Could You Have Solved the Mystery of the Cuckoo Clock?”
