Energy: Physical Science for Kids by Andi Diehn introduces young readers, ages 5-8, to the amazing world of energy with a look at the many ways in which energy is used, stored, and replenished.
Beginning with a look at children
utilizing energy in their active day, the book identifies what occurs when
energy levels drop, and continues on to explore the ways in which humans and
familiar animals restore their energy through nutrition and rest.
Of course, animals aren’t the only
lifeforms that utilize energy and an examination of basic photosynthesis
(without actually using the term) reveals that plants also use energy to grow.
The latter portion of the book focuses
attention on chemical energy, heat energy, electrical energy, and light energy
and the ways we incorporate those forms of energy in daily life.
Clear, simple language and colorful
illustrations invite youngster to explore the many types of energy that
surround them every day.
Examples are pulled from everyday experiences
and are both entertaining and thought provoking. A pair of Hands-0n experiments
and a basic glossary reinforce the content.
A fun introduction to simple science
concepts.
