Water Energy Projects: Easy Energy Activities for Future Engineers! ISBN 9781532115660 .ea vol: 32p. (Earth's Energy Experiments). glossary. photos. websites. ABDO . Aug. 2018. lib. ed. $27.07. Gr 1-4 Future engineers will find plenty of inspiration in these energy-themed activity books. Each entry briefly introduces and defines a topic (along with its history), then presents about five extension experiments, which range from model-making to long-term projects and cover topics like composting, fracking, and solar energy. "Digging Deeper" sidebars provide explanations. The attractive layout is bright and colorful; photographs depict happy children. Easy-to-follow instructions include warning symbols that advise readers when to seek an adult's help. A short conclusion, a quiz, and a glossary round out each volume. In lieu of a bibliography, each text directs readers to the library or the Internet for further exploration. Many experiments will translate well into STEAM maker programs. VERDICT Even well-stocked libraries should consider adding theseespecially Biofuel Energy Projects .
Kids will explore one of Earth's important energy resources with Biofuel Energy Projects. They'll read about the history of biofuel, where it comes from, and how we use it. They'll make candles out of butter, create ethanol from different types of sugar, and more. Projects include color photos and easytofollow instructions. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Applied to STEM Concepts of Learning Principles. Super Sandcastle is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
