School Library Journal Review
Gr 2--4--Teachers looking for ways to interest students in science concepts will be happy to see this series. Readers learn about the transfer of energy from a baseball hitting the sweet spot of a bat and how friction between skates and ice slows down hockey players. Action photos have helpful labels or additional details in handy text boxes, while diagrams illustrate points like differences in air pressure that create backspin on tennis balls or basketballs. Math concepts such as the number of players on each team or the proper angle to launch a discus are also included. There is also a chance for readers to apply their knowledge at the end of each book. Swimming and Track and Field show more female athletes, while the other titles have a majority of males, especially the ice hockey players in Ice Hockey. VERDICT Great for applying science to real-life experiences and appealing to reluctant readers.
