Introduces the concept of energy, describing the difference between potential and kinetic energy and detailing such types as heat, sound, light, chemical energy, and electricity.

Simple language and humorous illustrations show how forces make things move, prevent them from starting to move, and stop them from moving.

This book explains how the concepts of gravity, force, and energy work together during a roller coaster ride.
