thermodynamics

Looks at thermodynamics and converting heat into energy.

Text and illustrations present ten hands-on science experiments using heat and cold.

"This title will explain what heat is and how it transfers in three ways through convection, conduction, and radiation"--Publisher.

Provides a scientific investigation of temperature, explaining how it is measured, its effects on weather, and its impact on states of matter. Includes related experiments.

"A book for young readers about how heat moves"--Provided by publisher.

Heating or cooling different materials may cause them to change. Heating some materials might cause them to melt or cook. Cooling some materials might cause them to change color or form. Some of these changes are reversible, while others are irreversible.

Presents a collection of simple experiments illustrating the properties of heat. Includes color photographs, a quiz, a glossary of science terms, and further resources.

Explore the world of heating and cooling with engaging text, real life examples and fun step-by-step experiments. This book brings the science of temperature to life, explaining the concepts then getting kids to be hands-on scientists!.

Converting heat to energy or energy to heat has been a challenge for scientists for centuries. Now, the challenge of thermodynamics is to makes these conversions without damaging the environment.
