A last second pass followed by a mighty heave toward the basket. The buzzer sounds. Three points scored! What's behind it all Science! Let Max Axiom, Super Scientist, explain the science behind a layup, the right way to do a jump shot, and much, much more.
Organized into four volumes: basketball, football, baseball, and hockey, these books connect what students are doing in school with what they are doing after school.-- "No Flying, No Tights"
