Summary

Discover physics in a fun and imaginative way with Sarah Allen's Fairy Tale Physics series! As a fantasy novelist and professional math and physics tutor, Sarah has combined her talents to create beautifully illustrated stories that introduce and explore physics concepts in an accessible and enjoyable way. In 'Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale', join young Kip on his adventure as he sets out to seek his fortune with nothing but a single apple to his name. Along the way, Kip encounters a wizard with mysterious plans and encounters situations that introduce us to some of the foundations of physics, including Newton's laws of motion. But the learning doesn't stop there! This book also includes a bonus section on problem solving with over 30 exercises to tie the lessons of the story to what you might learn in a high school or college physics class. Plus, there are links to Sarah's favorite physics resources, including videos, articles, and online simulations for further learning.
