What Parents Need to Know
About Mega Movers
Parents need to know that this family-friendly series is great for anyone who likes problem solving and knowing how things work. Movers demonstrate practical uses of mathematics and physics to plan relocations on a massive scale. Touches of history and geography are woven into the stories, too, as the teams travel the world and work with objects of historical value (like World War II aircraft and the ancient stone structures on Easter Island).
