electrons

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. Children can learn more about electricity using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Electricity also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, a glossary, and an index. Electricity is part of Jump!'s Foundations of Physics series.

A book for high school students about the discovery of the electron and the establishment of the scientific discipline of particle physics.

This book simplifies the difficult concept of the Higgs mechanism through analogies to everyday experiences as well as pictures, diagrams, and intuitive explanations.

Introduces beginning readers to electricity.

Did you know that electric current can be controlled? Have you ever wondered how that might be done? Transistors can act as amplifiers, taking in a small current and sending out a larger one, or as switches, turning electric current on and off. But how do these different transistors work? How are they used in our electronic devices? Discover the history of how transistors were developed, explore how different types of transistors can play different roles in various types of electronics, and learn where transistors may be taking technology in the future!.

What is electricity? How is it made? How does it end up in your house? This simple, colorful book teaches kids about the force that powers our world.

"Electricity is a wonderful convenience that provides us with light, heat, communications, and power. Readers will learn about the history of electricity, from its ancient discovery to the present, with a full chapter extolling the important contributions by Benjamin Franklin and a timeline for visual reinforcement. In this instructive volume, readers learn how electricity is produced, whether it is simple static electricity, bolts of lightning, or the movement of ions. Step-by-step projects give readers the chance to see new concepts in action" -- Provided by publisher.

"Modern life makes extensive use of electronics. On a daily basis, we use smartphones, computers, and TVs in the home and robots in industry and commerce. This title outlines the development of electronics, from early vacuum tubes to today’s microchips. It explains how semiconductors work at the atomic level and how they are made into solid-state devices essential for the Internet and other applications. A biographical chapter on J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron (the key to electronics), rounds out the text. Science projects readers can try at home illustrate principles of physics" -- Provided by publisher.

This innovative book gives readers insight into this exciting profession and includes information on pioneers in the world of electricity, new technologies, and innovations.

Presents the Standard Deviants approach to learning chemistry, focusing on the question of where electrons are in atoms and molecules, with discussion of quantum mechanics and orbitals.
