Modern living wouldn’t be possible without electricity. The history of electricity is interesting because we are constantly finding new ways to use it and searching for better ways to produce it. This book takes a look at how electricity travels, how it is stored in batteries, and the many different types of power plants that produce the electricity needed to light our homes, schools, and businesses. Bright photographs and fascinating fact boxes are paired together to make flowcharts highlighting how circuits work to move electricity, how different kinds of batteries hold charges, and much more in this fascinating science book.
