Electricity
Electricity is an excellent information book packed full of fun activities to carry out at home to investigate the topic of Electricity. After an explanation of what electricity is and some sensible instructions about how to be a safe scientist, children can choose from 13 different electricity experiments. Most of the equipment needed for the experiments would be readily available in most homes, but some of the items needed to make the circuits may have to be purchased. The equipment that is needed is clearly listed. Children will be able to easily follow the step-by-step instructions and photographs. Each experiment is related to a factual piece of information about electricity. This would be an excellent book for 6-8 year olds and would help to reinforce work carried out at school in science when children are learning about electricity. Other titles in this series include Water, Colour and Sound. --Amanda York
