Book Description

Publication Date: November 17, 2009

Join Mike and Maxi on their adventure with their Great Great Grandfathers's race car and learn everything about the physics of vehicles along the way ... This book is one of a kind because it is based on a unique 'storytelling' methodology. It starts out with a 'cliff-hanger' story and requires your fantasy and knowledge to be completed. After the story there are a number of science experiments related to cars that will help you arrive at a conclusion to the story. And before you read the official ending of the story you need to finish the story in your own words using the knowledge that you gain by doing the science experiments. Sounds like fun? It is! This methodology has been used successfully to teach thousands of children and teachers. Online Science Classes that teach the content of this book are available at http://www.ScienceCastle.com
