Rocket Science for the Rest of Us

Gilliland, B.
This resource is a quick factbook that covers physics-related topics in a non-technical manner. Divided into four sections on the universe, space exploration, scientific theories, and particle physics, it covers a range of topics from black holes to dark matter, multiverse to cosmology, planetary exploration to human space flight, and the Large Hadron Collider to subatomic particles. The easy-to-read text is accompanied by bright, colourful images. Useful for grades 6-12, it can be used for supplementary reading, to provide a basic understanding of a topic, to spark more in-depth research, and to provide background knowledge on a topic for students who might struggle with a textbook.
