Rourke Educational Media TV Remotes Reader (How It Works)

By Robin Koontz

Book Overview

Can you imagine having to actually get up to change the channel on your TV? Well, before the remote control was invented, that's exactly what you had to do. This book talks about all kinds of remote controls used on TVs, video games, smartphones, and remote controlled toys. This book will allow students to ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. Filled with full-color photographs and reading comprehension activities, this book effectively engages students and complements the research of how an important piece of technology works. TV Remotes allows students to make observations and gather information about a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. Each 24-book features a teacher-focused concept, before- and after-reading activities, a photo glossary, and more, for a well-rounded understanding of the topic. The How It Works series lets young readers explore and research the technology and design of important, everyday things and how they are engineered. With simple-to-follow text and full-color photographs, these books easily engage young learners to discover the inner workings of complex objects and concepts.
