Isbn: 9798188768287 - astrophysics for kids: the fun and easy guide to the science of space, galaxies, and the universe (stem books for kids) (4 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Can You See Gravity Bend Space Itself?Discover the Real Science Behind the Universe's Biggest MysteriesDoes your child ask what stars are made of, why the universe keeps expanding, or what happens when a star dies?The universe runs on rules that are almost too big to imagine. Stars burn by fusing atoms together. Space itself curves around massive objects. Most of what holds galaxies together cannot even be seen.And these are not exaggerations. They are the real discoveries behind black holes, the Big Bang, gravitational waves, and the ongoing search for life beyond Earth.Astrophysics for Kids transforms these enormous ideas into a clear, fascinating journey for curious readers ages 8-13.No confusing equations. No empty hand-waving. No replacing real science with cute but misleading explanations.Just real astrophysics, explained clearly and respectfully.Understand the Discoveries That Changed Our View of the UniverseYoung readers will discover: What Astrophysics Really Is: How physics, astronomy, and math combine to explain the universe, and how scientists study stars they can never touchStars as Cosmic Engines: How nuclear fusion powers every star, and what the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram reveals about a star's lifeThe Life and Death of Stars: Why some stars fade quietly for trillions of years while others end in supernovasGalaxies: Cities of Stars: How the Milky Way fits among billions of other galaxies, and what happens when galaxies collideSpace, Time, and Gravity: Why gravity is not a force but a curve in space itself, and how that curve bends light and stretches timeThe Expanding Universe and the Big Bang: How Hubble's discovery let scientists run the cosmic clock backward to the first moments of everythingDark Matter and Dark Energy: Why 95 percent of the universe is invisible, and how scientists know it is there anywayThe Future of Astrophysics: The open questions about other worlds, alien life, and what the universe still has left to explainDesigned for Understanding, Not MemorizationEach chapter builds understanding through: Key terms explained in clear, age-appropriate languageReal stories from the history of scientific discovery, from Hubble's telescope to Newton's thought experimentsThought-provoking questions that encourage deeper thinkingEveryday analogies, like a bowling ball on a stretched rope, that make impossible-to-picture ideas make senseEnd-of-chapter reviews that reinforce the science instead of asking kids to just memorize itRather than asking children to memorize strange vocabulary, this book helps them understand why astrophysicists reached these remarkable conclusions.Written by a Physicist and Experienced TeacherAuthor Mike Wish has taught physics at the United States Naval Academy and has spent years helping students understand difficult scientific ideas.The result is a book that challenges young readers without talking down to them. Complex concepts are carefully unpacked, connected, and explained so that children can build genuine scientific intuition rather than simply repeat definitions.Perfect for Curious Young ScientistsThis book is ideal for: Independent readers who constantly ask "why?"Gifted and advanced learners ready for a deeper challengeHomeschool science lessons and enrichment programsParents searching for accurate, engaging STEM booksTeachers introducing astronomy and astrophysics to young studentsFuture scientists, engineers, astronomers, and deep thinkers</ul Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
