Let's race!: sprinting into the science of light speed with special relativity
(Book)
Description
"Time flies when you're having fun! So why does it go so slowly when you're not? Red Kangaroo wants to know and Dr. Chris has the answers-it's all a matter of special relativity! Dr. Chris teaches Red Kangaroo all about how we can play with time-and how time plays with us-in this installment of the Everyday Science Academy series. In this new series, Chris Ferrie answers all the questions Red Kangaroo has about what things are made of and how things work using real-world and practical examples. Young readers will have a firm grasp of scientific and mathematical concepts to help answer many of their "why" questions.Time flies when you're having fun!
