Comic Strip Science: Physics

The science of forces, energy and simple machines
Find out about the science of forces, energy, simple machines and more through hilarious cartoon strips

SHORTLISTED FOR THE LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK AWARDS (LOLLIES) 2025

Comic Strip Physics makes learning about the science behind forces, energy and simple machines fun! Perfect for kids aged 8 and up who love cartoons, crazy experiments, and asking "how does that work?"

Who says humans cannot fly? Human cannonballs definitely can. Unfortunately, though., a pair of forces soon drags them back to Earth. Meanwhile, find out why Dave is really not keen on powerful magnets and how a torch can beat a supercar in a race. Each page features a funny comic story that explains a cool physics idea, with extra diagrams and panels to help further exploration.

The illustrator, Jess Bradley, is winner of the 2021 Blue Peter Award for Best Non-Fiction for A Day in the Life of a Poo, Gnu and You and also writes and draws for The Phoenix Comic.
