| Summary |
"Did you know cheetahs can run 70 miles per hour? How do we know this? In this book, readers learn how to measure speeds like that of a cheetah using a simple formula and metric and imperial units. Diagrams, illustrations, and photographs further illuminate the knowledge presented and help readers fully grasp the concept. A concluding activity teaches readers to measure their own speed and puts their knowledge to the test" -- Publisher's website. |
