electricity

Have you ever wondered where the electricity powering your home or school comes from? What about how that electricity travels? In any device that uses electricity, inside is a small path through which that electricity travels, known as a circuit. Whether we see them in these devices or not, circuits are constantly at work. But how do circuits work? How were they invented? Explore the key concepts that make up a circuit, including the power source, conducting path, and load, and learn how circuits power devices of all sizes, from computers to the lights in your home to satellites in outer space!.

Discover the history of batteries and how scientists and engineers figured out ways to store electricity. Explore what makes up a battery, including an anode, cathode, and electrolyte, and learn how batteries can power all kinds of electronics from a cell phone to a bus!.

Modern living wouldn’t be possible without electricity. The history of electricity is interesting because we are constantly finding new ways to use it and searching for better ways to produce it. This book takes a look at how electricity travels, how it is stored in batteries, and the many different types of power plants that produce the electricity needed to light our homes, schools, and businesses. Bright photographs and fascinating fact boxes are paired together to make flowcharts highlighting how circuits work to move electricity, how different kinds of batteries hold charges, and much more in this fascinating science book.
