ReviewsPraise for Rocketry: Investigate the Science and Technology of Rockets and Ballistics with 25 Projects Booklist ". . . both the hands-on portions and the relatively extensive background information will give would-be rocketeers a strong liftoff." Vince Huegele, National Association of Rocketry Education This book covers rocket history, rocket science, and rocket fun. It's a comprehensive overview useful for young readers to get them ready to explore the universe" Sampo Niskanen, developer of the OpenRocket simulation software A great introduction to rocketry for children and adults alike. The book combines hands-on experimentation, history, and the science behind rocketry in an inspiring manner." Marla Conn, educational consultant I love the link to the Space Shuttle Discovery and other primary sources. Great use of questioning to spark curiosity!" Praise for Forensics: Uncover the Science and Technology of Crime Scene Investigation Winner 2013 Silver Moonbeam Children's Book Award Winner 2013 Society of School Librarians International Honor Book Award Booklist "Like other titles in the Inquire and Investigate series, this book focuses on a high-interest topic in a cutting-edge field to reinforce young people's understanding of the scientific method. . . an appealing and age-appropriate STEM resource." Clea Koff, forensic anthropologist and author " Forensics gets at the essence of crime scene investigation. A must-read for any young student interested in how science can help solve crimes." James Creecy, DNA Evidence Coordinator, Forensic Science Institute, University of Central Oklahoma "Carla Mooney did her homework! I particularly enjoyed the experiments at the end of each chapter. As a forensic scientist, educator, and parent I am happy to recommend this introduction to the fascinating world of forensics.", Vince Huegele, National Association of Rocketry Education This book covers rocket history, rocket science, and rocket fun. It's a comprehensive overview useful for young readers to get them ready to explore the universe" Praise for Cities: Discover How They Work Booklist Propounding the emerging interdisciplinary paradigm of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and design, and mathematics), this hands-on informational book discusses how cities' complex structures and systems function together in an interdependent way. Through appealing illustrations, reader-friendly text, and fun hands-on experiments suitable for home and classroom, Reilly helps foster an appreciation for the way that cities function almost as organisms with vibrant systems and interdependent structures."

SynopsisAvailable in paperback and as an ebook, Rocketry: Investigate the Science and Technology of Rockets and Ballistics introduces students to the fascinating world of rocketry and ballistics. Readers discover the history of rocket development, from the earliest fire arrows in China to modern-day space shuttles, as well as the main concepts of rocketry, including how rockets are launched, move through the atmosphere, and return to earth safely. Exploring the science behind rocket flight, kids learn how the forces of thrust, gravity, lift, and drag interact to determine a rocket's path, then imagine new uses and technologies in rocketry that are being developed today and for the future. Combining hands-on activities with physics, chemistry, and mathematics, Rocketry brings fun to learning about the world of rocket science. Entertaining illustrations and fascinating sidebars illuminate the topic, while Words to Know highlighted and defined within the text reinforce new vocabulary. Projects include building a pneumatic blast rocket and launcher, testing a rocket recovery system, and designing a rocket model of the future. Additional materials include a glossary and a list of current reference works, websites, and Internet resources.
