A roller coaster ride takes twists and turns at speed, creating a dizzy feeling that adds to the fun. Learn about the science of switchback turns, including rotational energy, pendulum swings, centripetal force, gravity, spinning, axes, and more.

All the topics are explained in bite-size, easy-to-understand nuggets. Photographs and clever illustrations throughout will draw readers into the science. Plus, a "That's Incredible" fact on each spread helps keep them entertained.
