by Andrew Fraknoi and Dennis Schatz
Coming soon: Spring 2017
This illustrated book is a fun way to get young astronomers ready for August 2017, when millions of North Americans will have the rare chance to witness a solar eclipse. The book tells how two curious children and their grandparents re-create eclipses in their living room using a lamp, a tennis ball, two Hula Hoops, and Ping-Pong balls. Later, in the backyard and around the house, the family explores safe ways to view a solar eclipse and ponders phenomena from sunspots to phases of the Moon. Written by the authors of NSTA’s award-winning book Solar Science, When the Sun Goes Dark gives children and adults hands-on techniques for learning the science behind eclipses of the Sun and Moon.

Dark as a Shadow
Written in lively rhyme, Dark as a Shadow makes it fun to learn the science behind why shadows change length throughout the day and disappear in the dark. After reading about how light and objects interact to create shadows, young children won’t be able to resist twisting, wriggling, bending, and shaking to see the phenomenon themselves.

Michael's Racing Machine
While building a soapbox racing car, a pair of friends provide an easy-to-understand lesson in how simple machines are all around us, making our work more efficient. Michael and Luci show readers that a broom is a lever, nails are wedges, and a screwdriver is both a lever and a wheel and axle. The two also prove that curious children can be just like scientists, making observations and using how and what questions to explore physical principles they encounter all the time.
