The Shocking World of Electricity sends superhero scientist Max Axiom through a comic adventure that follows electricity from production to distribution. His super-scientist persona turns an invisible energy system into a sequence readers can see, follow, and question.
The science inside
- Electricity & Magnetism
- Energy
- Inventions
Your child will meet:
- Electric current is the movement of electric charge through a conducting path.
- A complete circuit provides a closed path through which charge can move.
- Electricity can be generated from several energy sources before a distribution network carries it to users.
- Electrical systems require insulation, control devices, and safety rules because current can injure people.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Quick discussion
Current, circuits, conductors and static, in graphic novel form. Max Axiom takes the reader inside a wire, and the explanations hold up.
How to use it: for the kid who asks how the light switch works. Grades three through eight. Read it, then build a simple circuit with a battery, a bulb and two wires so the diagram becomes something in their hands.
