This series for school students comes from Australian Geographic and the books explore different topics about our planet, science, and nature in depth. This book explores the electricity that powers our homes and vehicles, heats our water, and helps us go about our lives. Humans draw from many natural sources to power turbines and generate electrical energy. In this book, students investigate the sustainability of different energy sources, learn about conductors and insulators, and explore the features of electrical devices. Each book in the Australian Geographic Science series includes links to online experiments, and topical news pieces that integrate the cross-curriculum priorities.
