Oscar finds a ball in the grass and, with Cricket's encouragement, learns the secrets of motion. As the ball rolls faster on paths and changes direction after hitting a tree, Oscar discovers the fascinating world of forces. What else can a push do? Explore the wonders of movement and the science behind it.

From the publisher

A Start with Science book about moving and rolling. One day Oscar sees a ball in the grass. Try pushing it! says Cricket. Oscar learns that the ball rolls slowly in grass and faster on a path, until it bounces off a tree and changes direction. Some things need a push to move, and others use their muscles to move themselves – and to move plenty of other things, too. Back matter includes an index and supplemental activities.
