Sounds like she's building up a nice solid theoretical framework. Might be time to start introducing her to [this.] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0465023312)

The book is Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland.

If I had to make my own suggestion for a book, it would be How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog. Each chapter starts off as a conversation between the author and his dog, where the dog has heard some random fact about physics and is trying to exploit it for her own gains(catching squirrels, infinite bacon, etc..). Then the second part of each chapter is a more rigorous(but still easy to follow) mathematical explanation.

I found How to Teach Physics to your Dog by Chad Orzel to be good. It's framed as a series of dialogues between the author and his talking dog Emmy (hence the title) where Emmy tries to creatively interpret quantum mechanics in her hunt for the neighborhood squirrels and the author has to straighten her out. It's strictly a "science for the interested layman" book though, it doesn't go too deeply into the mathematics. I found the central concept to be annoying at times, but it's usually entertaining and comprehensible, and it covers the history and experiments that led to modern understanding as well.

There's also a sequel that covers relativity.
