Review: my daughter has happily read this for hours
Review: Lindo, finalmente vou aprender físicaa - Amei o livro, vou usar pra aprender física. Além de mostrar como tudo funciona, ele é dividido em áreas da Física, como alavanca, engrenagens, erc, e relaciona equipamentos que parecem super diferentes (por exemplo, um abridor de garrafas e uma catapulta... sei lá kkkk ainda nao li, só xeretei), e mostra como usam o mesmo princípio da física pra diminuir a força aplicada e realizar o mesmo trabalho... Só não dei 5 estrelas porque adoraria ver imagens reais, e não desenhos, porque vou usar pra ensinar meus filhos e com desenhos fica mais difícil eles perceberem do que se trata. Por exemplo, um desenho em zoom de um grampeador é super legal, mas pros pequenos não é muito claro...
