Can we make droplets jump without touching them?  Do we weigh the same on the moon as on Earth?
Explore the answers to these questions and more through this ScienceWerkz interactive book, an inquiry-based way to learn science.

Dr. Rodger W. Bybee, internationally respected science educator, states that this is “a 21st century response to a 21st century vision.”  He explains that it’s “...an active media approach that...provides learning experiences that transcend the classroom walls...”.

In this ScienceWerkz book, in addition to videos, animations, and self-quizzes, you are challenged to think critically about what you learned and share your thoughts with others in a forum.

You will learn about various types of forces, including gravitational, frictional, magnetic, electrostatic, and others.  You will also explore measuring mass and the difference between mass and weight.
