The Complete Learn Physics Through Stories Digital Bundle [PDFs + eBooks + Games + Worksheets]

A growing library of story-based physics for curious kids ages 9-12 — with a guided path through it.

Forget dry textbooks. Learn Physics Through Stories teaches real physics — forces, gravity, light, electricity, and more — through magical fairy tales kids actually want to read.

This is the whole realm, not just the books: seven full books, four browser games, three physics simulations, and more than twenty worksheets, answer keys, printables, workbooks and bonus stories — organized on a private map page you keep access to, where you can follow a guided path from beginning to end, jump to the topic you're teaching this week, or browse by your child's age. And it keeps growing — everything I make from here on gets added to the same map, and you won't pay for it again.

What's included in the bundle:

📖 Seven full books (PDF + ePub):

• Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale (2nd Edition) — forces, motion, and Newton's three laws. The best place to start. Comes with the Free Body Diagrams worksheet.
• Allora and the Puzzles of Archimedes — levers, pulleys, and friction, told as an adventure story. Comes with the Ostomachion puzzle printable and the friction worksheets and answer keys. 📖 Read a Sample
• Gravity: A Fairy Tale — gravity, orbits, and falling objects. Comes with a bonus pendulum story and the Starlight Starship workbook.
• The Hopeful Queen of the Clockwork Court — the expanded rewrite of the Fluid Mechanics story, about five times the length, with a new setting, new characters, more physics and a different ending. Covers pressure, siphons, buoyancy, Archimedes' Principle and Screw, the Venturi effect, the history of timekeeping, and a little probability.
• Physics Fables — short tales, one topic each: The Tortoise, the Hare, and the Photon (special relativity) · The Emperor Butterfly's New Clothes · Sakura and the Many-Layered Sea (density and buoyancy) 📖 Read a Sample · Clemmm and the Polar Coordinates · The Wayfarer's Scepter (magnetism)
• Light: A Fairy Tale — reflection, refraction, and color. One of the earlier books, built differently: the story comes first, then the physics in its own section at the back, with the real equations, for a reader ready for algebra.
• Fluid Mechanics: A Fairy Tale (1st Edition, 2014) — the short original of the story that became The Hopeful Queen, with the physics in a section at the back and more algebra than the others. Kept on the map because some readers prefer it, and nobody should lose something they already have.

🎮 Four interactive browser games:

• The Sorceress of Circuits — a steampunk electricity adventure 👉 Play the Demo Here
• The Case of the Seven Reflections — a fairy detective optics mystery
• Scientific Notation Quest
• A Castle of Math and Motion — 1-D kinematics

📄 Worksheets and activities, with answer keys:

• Quest worksheets — Energy Robot, Momentum, and 1-D Kinematics: classic practice problems wrapped in a story
• Free Body Diagrams, Friction Explorer and Calculating Friction, each with its key
• The Ostomachion — a real 2,000-year-old puzzle, as a printable to cut out and try

📐 Math workbooks: Algebra 1 Part 1 and Part 2 (PDF and ePub), and the Starlight Starship workbook — the inverse square law and 3D shapes, as an interstellar voyage.

🔬 Simulations for the ideas that are easier to see moving than to read about — the Friction Explorer, the Doppler effect, and types of waves.

✨ Bonus stories like Abigail's Totally Purposeful, Definitely Not Accidental or Dangerous Adventure (pendulums) and Gerald and the Many Unsettling Details (the photoelectric effect, told darkly and funnily).

🗺️ The Map of the Realm — your own page holding all of it, three ways in: a guided path arranged in a thoughtful order, a browse-by-topic list for the unit you're teaching, and a browse-by-age route for ages 7-8, 9-12, and 13 and up.

Updates with future materials — As I write more books and games, I add them to your map. So you'll have access to future books, games, and worksheets as I keep expanding the library.

Perfect for:

• Homeschool families who want science their kids will actually read
• Classroom teachers wanting story-based supplements
• Parents who want their kids to fall in love with physics
• Curious 9-12 year olds who'd rather read a story than a textbook

No science background required. Read on any device, print at home, or play the games in your browser.

How you get it: your download is ready the moment you check out — the button is right there on the confirmation page, and your order confirmation email has a View Order and Downloads button that takes you back to your order page any time. What you download is a PDF holding your link to the Map of the Realm, where everything lives and keeps growing.

A Note About Math

No math is required to use these books, but there is some optional math available for those who would like it. They're adaptable and standalone. So, you can read the stories in any order. You can read the stories and the explanations at the same time if you're interested, or you can just read and enjoy the story. You could also choose to read the story and the explanations and then do the activities and practice problems that are included in the books. My goal is to make these really fun and educational for learners with a wide variety of backgrounds. And I know some people really love the math and others have had very stressful experiences with it. And want this to be delightful either way.

100% Delight Guarantee: If for whatever reason it's not a good fit, email me and I'll refund you, no questions asked.
