Summary:
Energy
is all around us! But where does it come from and how is it used? Explore the different types of
energy
, from the electromagnetic
energy
that keeps us connected, to the geothermal
energy
deep inside Earth. Discover how we can all be more
energy
efficient, the renewable energies that will transform our planet, and the scientists who brought
energy
to life, including Marie Curie, Christina Lampe-önnerud, and Sophie Blanchard. Readers can also carry out cool
energy
experiments at home. With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Dr Shini Somara and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter
energy
and why it's even important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.
Audience:
9-12 years.
Grades 4-6.
