Electricity

By Leon Gray

Book Overview

Over the past few hundred years, the introduction of electricity has changed how people live all over the world, so much so that many can't imagine life without it. The earliest experiments with electricity, like those done by Ben Franklin and William Gilbert, will fascinate readers as they learn the basics of electricity, from atoms to circuits. Exemplified by familiar situations and items, the main science content supplements what readers will encounter in the classroom, including history as well as future energy sources such as wind and solar power. Vivid photographs and additional fact boxes make learning about science simply electrifying!
