Books and DVDs

	The Science of Forces : Projects with Experiments On Forces and Machines Parker, Steve. Chicago, Ill. : Heinemann Library, c2005.

	Forces and Motion Silverstein, Alvin. Minneapolis, Minn. : Twenty-First Century Books, c2009. Explains different types of forces, how forces and simple machines work, the laws of motion, and how the laws act in different substances.

	Forces and Motion Rand, Casey. Chicago, Ill. : Raintree, c2009. Take a look at the forces that surround us everyday.

	The Laws of Motion : Understanding Uniform and Accelerated Motion Burnett, Betty, 1940- New York : Rosen Pub. Group, 2005.

	Roller Coaster! Mason, Paul, 1967- Chicago : Raintree, c2007.

	Motion Morgan, Ben. San Diego, Calif. : Blackbirch Press, c2003.

	Energy Projects for Young Scientists Gardner, Robert, 1929- New York : F. Watts, 1987. Instructions for a variety of projects and experiments related to solar, thermal, electrical, kinetic, and potential energy.

	Science Magic with Forces Oxlade, Chris. Hauppauge, NY : Barron's, 1995.

	Isaac Newton : The Scientist Who Changed Everything Steele, Philip, 1948- Washington, D.C. : National Geographic Society, 2007.

	Energy Elk Grove Village, IL. : Distributed by Disney Educational Productions, c2009. "What scientific principle is at work in every theme park ride the Imagineers create? It's Energy. The Imagineers reveal the role energy plays in popular theme park attractions such as Epcot's Test Track and the Mad Tea Party. Students will learn that energy is the ability to do work and that energy is constantly being transferred from one thing to another. They will also identify the difference between potential and kinetic energy and be able to establish examples and benefits of renewable energy."--Container.

	All About the Transfer of Energy Wynnewood, PA : Schlessinger Media, c2006. Explains how energy moves from place to place and from object to object, discussing potential and kinetic energy and how energy transforms between these states. Uses bowling balls, rubber bands, divers, and snowboarders to demonstrate.
