Inhaltsangabe

THE SCIENCE OF DEFYING GRAVITY is an innovative genre mashup that seamlessly intertwines STEM-based learning with an engaging fictional story.

Eleven-year-old Cassie is passionate about filmmaking and dreams of becoming a renowned movie director in space. Her aspirations take a hit when her plans to attend Space Camp fall through due to financial constraints. To reclaim her dream, Cassie must win a prestigious science fair that offers a scholarship for the camp.

With the support a devoted teacher, an inspiring engineering mentor, and her group of loyal friends, Cassie refuses to let obstacles stand in her way.

Within the pages of THE SCIENCE OF DEFYING GRAVITY, readers will find an actual science fair project complete with detailed tables and charts specifically designed for young learners. This project explores the four fundamental forces of flight—lift, thrust, gravity, and drag—which are intricately woven into the storyline. Every scientific concept presented is accurate and has been validated by experienced engineers and engineering students, making it both educational and entertaining.

“To attend space camp a girl aims to win the science fair…Useful, entertaining, and encouraging; will inspire confidence and an appreciation of science.” – Kirkus Reviews
