With 10,000 words and almost 100 illustrations, Fizzyx For Fun presents Newton's Physics to middle school students in a way that is entertaining, accessible and gender-neutral—even fun!
As the contents of Fizzyx for Fun meet many of the Prescribed Science Learning Outcomes for Grades 6 - 9 for many, if not most, of the United States and provinces of Canada, it would be an important resource for school libraries and classroom teachers, although not limited to that purpose.
In addition, the author has tried to ensure that the suggested activities are safe for children, easy, and using commonly available materials. The intention is that a young person would be able to go through this book either alone or with a friend or parent, and would be able to obtain a basic grasp of fundamental physical principles.
