Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Chemistry & Materials
- Physics & Energy
- Story / Adventure
- Maker / Problem-Solving
Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants launches Uncle Ned in fictional helium pants and makes getting him safely down an urgent series of questions. The comic rescue depends on reasoning about gases, buoyancy, gravity, and balloon altitude while Ada tests ideas with her friends.
The science inside
- Motion, Forces & Machines
- Materials
Your child will meet:
- An object in air experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the air it displaces.
- Helium is less dense than air, which is why a properly designed helium balloon can rise.
- Gravity continues to pull downward while buoyancy pushes upward.
- Questions, predictions, and evidence can be organized into a safer rescue plan.
