Book review: Energy

This book does an excellent job of explaining why it is important for students to study energy. It begins with the definition of energy, but quickly moves to matter, types and forms of energy, and incorporates interesting facts ... to hook the reader into wanting to learn more. So, this book does just that; it gives the reader more. Energy transformations, stored energy, and super science facts about electric eels, buried energy in the form of chemical energy and nuclear energy pros and consthis book has it all. I was especially impressed with the facts about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and how people use them. The pictures are great, the facts are current, but the most appealing aspect of the book is that students will come away with an understanding of how their personal energy use impacts the world. ... What a wonderful resource for the middle school science classroom! - Teri Cosentino, NSTA
