Description

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. Read more

Most likely you’ve read about Benjamin Franklin and his experiments with electricity. Centuries before Franklin, the ancient Greeks “noticed the effects of opposite electrical charges as early as 600 BCE.” They noticed this when they observed static electricity when “feathers stuck to amber after they rubbed it with animal fur.” No doubt you’ve discovered the effects of static electricity in your own home, but just what is electricity? That’s exactly what Benjamin Franklin wanted to learn when he got out that kite and ventured out into a thunderstorm. Franklin had lots of questions and his experiment answered several of them. One thing that Franklin knew for sure after his experiment was that it “showed that lightning began as static electricity that built up in a storm cloud.” A couple decades later in the 1780s, scientists were still wondering about electricity. Luigi Galvani was wondering “whether frog muscles could produce electricity.” He was certain that after some experimentation, they could. You’ll read about his faulty conclusion and the fact that Alessandro Volta disagreed with his theory. Volta then ran a series of experiments to answer some of his own questions. Volta “figured out that chemical reactions between certain metals create an electrical current.” One of his “experiments in the 1790s led to one of his most famous inventions—the electric battery.” It’s amazing to think the battery was invented so long ago, but this is one interesting fact you’ll learn in this book. You’ll also learn about Hans Christian Orsted’s, André-Marie Ampère’s, Michael Faraday, and Thomas Edison’s experiments, electrodynamics, you’ll learn how electricity travels, and discover many other amazing facts about electricity. This is a fun, fascinating book about electricity young science buffs will enjoy. Most kids have experimented or thought about how electricity works, but don’t know the science behind it. This book takes a historical look back at scientific research and answers questions young students might have. The layout of the book has photographs, diagrams, and numerous informative sidebars that add to the text. For example, one takes a look at Volta’s “experiment involving two metals—zinc and silver.” In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, an experiment, and additional recommended book an website resources to explore. There are free downloadable educational resources on the publisher’s website.
