Electricity and Magnets


Book Description

With electronic devices in nearly every home, electrical and magnetic currents are a common part of everyday life. Understanding how these concepts work in a safe and practical way is an important part of every young scientist's journey. Through this volume's simple, hands-on experiments, young scientists will get a good look at both in action, encouraging their understanding of these complex forces. With experiments on static electricity and magnetic attraction, young readers will dive right into the step-by-step instructions while learning important scientific lessons.




Electricity Investigations


Book Description

Provides readers with information about electricity including what it is, where it comes from, and how it travels.




Doable Renewables


Book Description

Kids will learn valuable hands-on lessons from this guide by constructing working models that generate renewable, alternative energy. Budding scientists learn how to build their own Kelvin water-drop generator out of six recycled cans and alligator-clip jumpers; a solar-powered seesaw from a large dial thermometer and a magnifying glass; and a windmill from eight yardsticks, PVC pipe, cardboard, and a converter generator. Children will investigate the energy-generating properties of a solar cell, a radiometer, a Nitinol heat engine, and a Peltier cell--there are even plans to build a human-powered desk lamp. Each project includes a materials and tools list as well as online information on where to find specialized components.
