Charging About
A brand new edition of Charging About from the Science Works series, featuring lively storytelling and fun, engaging illustrations to aid children in their learning.
Press a button, flick a switch, turn a knob and zap . . . something amazing happens. You have music, light, heat, hairdryers — all because of electricity.
In this revised edition from Jacqui Bailey, we follow the story of how electrical energy is generated in a power station, how it travels through pylons, power cables and wires until it reaches towns and homes. We learn how electrical current is created and how it is made safe. This book also contains an experiment, more great facts to know, useful websites and an index.
Book band: Brown
Ideal for KS2.
