Usborne GB How It Works: Electricity

Description

Electricity is the power behind smartphones and thunderstorms and vacuum cleaners. It lights up our homes and cooks our food, but what IS it and where does it come from? Lift the flaps and try some simple experiments to find out. Chapters in this book include:- Electricity all around- What is electricity?- Electrons on the move- Going with the flow- Making electricity- The spark of life- Clever circuits- Electricity in the future- Extraordinary electricity Review: Amazing - Great book very rich and engaging Review: Spot on when the question is "How does electricity work"? - A fabulous book with its many windows to open - it taught me a lot as well as my small grandson, who at nearly four, was eager to know how electricity works. Some things will stick in his head for ever I am sure (like ancients putting an electric fish on their heads to heal headaches, or the electrical systems that run from our brain to our finger tips in split seconds), others will see us returning time after time to discover more. It is bang up to date with wind turbines and solar and geothermal energy included. I shall certainly be revisiting it from time to time!
