In Chemistry and Physics: Elements and Forces of the World, Adolfo Ayala explores a hidden world that lives right in our very midst. His study begins with a look at physical matter and how we apply the Scientific Method to it, before moving into Newton’s laws of motion, sound and light waves, the Atomic Theory, chemical reactions, and more. Students will discover the intricate balance and order that God has written into His creation.

- The earliest study of motion began with attempts to understand the movement of the planets in the night sky.
- The reason it is more difficult to walk through a pool than on dry land is because of a force known as hydrodynamic drag.
- We can see lightning before we hear the clap of thunder because light moves at an astonishing 300,000,000 m/s, while sound only travels at 340 m/s.
- Echoes work better when they bounce off a hard surface instead of a soft one.
- A white-colored object is one that is reflecting the entire spectrum of light, while a black-colored surface is absorbing the whole spectrum of light.
