ReviewsElectricity is one of a series of amazing question-and-answer books designed for young readers in grades 2-5. This 32-page books, in medium-sized binding, is an excellent resource for students and teachers. Clear illustrations and photographs designed to strengthen comprehension accompany the information. For example, the section on electric currents shows a generator with a spinning magnet used to create an electric current. The easy-to-read vocabulary explains concepts such as current, conductor, and insulator. The accompanying illustration shows a turbine spinning a magnet covered with coiled wire and sending an electric current. The section on how batteries make electricity includes an inside look at a battery. Because our students use batteries every day, they will enjoy these familiar examples. Each book in this series includes activities, review facts, and a glossary. Using this book, students build a circuit with simple materials. Internet sites that have been researched by "Fact Finders" staff and further resources in each volume make them useful resources for classroom centers, independent reading, or group activities.
