“But Newton made another approximation to crank out predictions from his theory of gravity. He assumed that the Sun alone pulls on Earth, and the Earth alone pulls on the Moon. The breakdown of this assumption can be seen in the case of the tides, where both the Moon and the Sun affect the Earth. And this is a general feature of the real world: bodies are pulled on by more than one other body.”
Needed to get out of the house, so I‘m enjoying an egg and cheese biscuit and iced tea while starting a new book 📖 Might take a little stroll later to enjoy the nice weather ☀️
Our world is full of constantly changing numbers, from a hundred billion trillion stars in space to thirty-seven billion rabbits on Earth.
I think this book is perfect for older students, and could be used to facilitate great discussions!
pick“A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars“ by Seth Fishman is a captivating hardcover picture book that offers children a delightful exploration of the vastness of our world, inspiring them to unleash their imaginations.
The book would be best to read with 3rd grade and up but could be read with younger grades. I think it could be difficult for younger students to get the full understanding but they can relate to the book and the facts that it gives. This book would be good to use in a science or math class. The authors note help adds to how the author found the information within the book.
