Generating and Using Electricity (Hardcover)

by Andrew Solway

Heinemann
In Generating and Using Electricity, we find out how electricity is generated from many sources, including waves, wind, and the Sun. Learn about electric charge, cells and batteries, generators, and electric motors. We see how power plants distribute electricity, how we get usable voltages in our homes, and how low-energy bulbs can reduce our energy consumption. And we discover cutting-edge technologies, such as plastic that conducts electricity, microbial fuel cells, and generators that run at –196ºC (–321ºF).

Reviews

Library Media Connection - Ann Bryan Nelson

Appealing cover illustrations and formats encourage students to learn more about these new science fields. Relevant education is furthered by this series’ goal to illustrate science education’s use in everyday life. Useful for assigned nonfiction reading, these books offer vocabulary and background information for student writers. A list of topics to research adds to their value. The glossary would be improved with pronunciation help. Bibliography. Websites. Index.
