In this volume, the forces behind pushing and pulling are broken down for readers to grasp, as concepts of friction, changing direction, and changing shape are explained and detailed. Full-color photographs of each movement are featured to help readers visualize each concept, and achievable text broadens readers' understanding of pushes and pulls in their everyday lives.
