In simple, clear sentences (“Electricity is a kind of energy. Energy is power used to do work.”), this volume elucidates the sources and functions of the electricity we use. By the end of the book, students will understand the journey that electricity takes from power plants to our homes (a helpful diagram is included), and the roles that generators, power lines, motors, and batteries play in this process. Electrical safety is also discussed. The book’s small size, clean design, clear photographs, and large type are perfect for beginning readers. The back matter contains a glossary, further reading and Web site resources, and an index.
