Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and text highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! Electricity powers lights, computers, and television sets. But have you seen how electricity can make objects stick together? Or make other objects pull apart? Now you can! Explore electricity with the fun experiments you'll find in this book. As part of the Searchlight BooksTM collection, this series sheds light on a key science question―How Does Energy Work? Hands-on experiments, interesting photos, and useful diagrams will help you find the answer!

You probably know that electricity powers your computer and other electronics. But what is electricity? How does it work and where does it come from? Scientists have been asking questions about electricity for centuries. Does it come from frog muscles? Can magnets create electricity? How could people harness the energy from gas or wind to power devices far away? Scientists have asked all these questions and more, and they've conducted countless experiments to learn the answers. Find out what they discovered and how we use electricity to power homes and businesses.

"Because most people use electricity every day, it's important to understand how it works and respect its power. From the basics of current and circuits to how electricity is generated, this book covers many concepts included in the science curriculum using relatable examples, straightforward language, and colorful diagrams. Each chapter simply defines key terms and gives thorough explanations, as well as asks the reader questions and riddles to consider as they learn about renewable energy, electricity and magnetism, static electricity and more."

Designed to promote scientific literacy by teaching the steps of the scientific method and enabling students to become problem solvers in everyday life. Chapter 1 explains the scientific method and equipment used in inquiry learning. The following chapters include laboratory investigations in physical, life, earth, and space science topics. The final section includes guidelines for creating, exhibiting, and presenting a science fair project. --P. [4] of cover.

This resource has separate books for biology, chemistry and physics. Each book is accompanied by a teacher's resource pack on customizable CD-ROM or as a printed pack. The series is designed to work in conjunction with the Coordinated Science for AQA series, so that coordinated and separate science can be taught alongside each other.

Electricity Economics: Production Functions with Electricity studies the production output from analyzing patterns of electricity consumption. Since electricity data can be used to measure scenarios of economic performance due to its accuracy and reliability, it could therefore also be used to help scholars explore new research frontiers that directly and indirectly benefits human society. Our research initially explores a similar pattern to substitute the Cobb–Douglas function with the production function with electricity to track and forecast economic activities. The book systematically introduces the theoretical frameworks and mathematical models of economics from the perspective of electricity consumption. The E-GDP functions are presented for case studies of more than 20 developed and developing countries. These functions also demonstrate substantial similarities between human DNA and production functions with electricity in terms of four major characteristics, namely replication, mutation, uniqueness, and evolution. Furthermore, the book includes extensive data and case studies on the U.S., China, Japan, etc. It is intended for scientists, engineers, financial professionals, policy makers, consultants, and anyone else with a desire to study electricity economics as well as related applications. Dr. Zhaoguang Hu is the vice president and chief energy specialist at the State Grid Energy Research Institute, China. Zheng Hu is a PhD candidate at the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy, University of Delaware, USA.

Green energy is often in the news. Scientists are constantly looking for new sources of power. Readers learn why it's becoming increasingly important to stop using fossil fuels to create electricity as well as learning about many kinds of renewable resources. They will also explore the pros and cons of integrating the usage of renewable resources, as sources of energy, into our lives.
