But this well-researched, at-level volume provides young scientists with an up-close look at electricity, exploring essential scientific topics such as batteries, circuits, conductors and insulators, electricity generation, and safety issues. After each topic's explanation, readers are invited to complete a related activity, through step-by-step instructions, including making a lemon battery, building an electroscope, constructing a wind turbine, and much more. A final quiz allows reader to assess their understanding of electricity facts." --Publisher marketing.
