Full Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK AWARDS (LOLLIES) 2025
Comic Strip Physics makes learning about the science behind forces, energy and simple machines fun!
Who says humans cannot fly? Human cannonballs definitely can. Unfortunately, though., a pair of forces soon drags them back to Earth. Meanwhile, find out why Dave is really not keen on powerful magnets and how a torch can beat a supercar in a race.
Each spread in this series features a short, funny comic strip that explains a process or aspect of science. Around the strip, diagrams and panels give further information on the topic. They are a fantastic way to engage children aged 8 plus with science.
The illustrator, Jess Bradey, is winner of the 2021 Blue Peter Award for Best Non-Fiction for A Day in the Life of a Poo, Gnu and You and also writes and draws for The Phoneix Comic.
Titles in the series: Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space, Physics
