electricity

Twins Theo and Alexander, their older sister Wil, and five new friends find themselves at an electrifying manor run by Mister Frank and Dr. Stein.

"Giant monsters are on the warpath, and it's Menlo the mech's job to protect the city! But when this metal marvel is shut down by an unlucky lightning strike, a resourceful engineer and his high-energy niece will have to find a way to plug in and power up to save everyone from certain doom! From simple circuits to giant grids, fossil fuel power plants to wind farms, electricity keeps the world running. In Science Comics: Electricity, you'll discover where electricity comes from, why lightning suddenly strikes, and how we've harnessed it all to turn the lights on in your room. Ready for action? Get energized with electricity!"--From the publisher's web site.

It's astounding to think about how our lives would work without electricity. Luckily, we only realize the impact of electricity when the power's out! But this well-researched, at-level volume provides young scientists with an up-close look at electricity, exploring essential scientific topics such as batteries, circuits, conductors and insulators, electricity generation, and safety issues. After each topic's explanation, readers are invited to complete a related activity, through step-by-step instructions, including making a lemon battery, building an electroscope, constructing a wind turbine, and much more. A final quiz allows reader to assess their understanding of electricity facts.

"Michael and his friends learn that returning to a normal life is not only more difficult than they imagined, but that normal doesn't last. Like the mythical Hydra, cutting off the head of the global Elgen only created more enemies"--Provided by publisher.

Mesmerized by the unique landscape of the brain terrain, Malcolm imagines the type of Martians that could have adapted to life along the complex ridges that wrinkle the landscape. Stranded a long way from camp, the team must harness the energy from a sudden electrical storm to power their vehicle, all while playing it safe in the Mars lightning that surrounds them. This graphic novel includes Mars facts and survival tips as well as in-depth content on animal adaptation and behavior. Backmatter includes an activity page and character information.

In Electricity, early fluent readers will learn how electricity and the physics behind it impacts our universe every day. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about the laws, history, and applications of this foundational STEM concept. Infographics and sidebars present interesting, supplementary information, and an activity offers readers an opportunity to extend discovery.
