Machines (Everyday STEM)
by Jenny Jacoby (Author)
Discover how machines are part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Technology--Machines.
Explore a world full of technological innovation, from the first tools used in the Stone Age to the machines of the future. Learn about telescopes and rovers in space, see how modern machines can protect our planet, and meet the innovators and scientists who invented the machines that have improved our lives, including Dr Gladys West, Olafur Eliasson, and Fei-Fei Li. Readers can also carry out cool machine experiments at home.
With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Jenny Jacoby, and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can explore where we encounter machines and why they are even important at all.
The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.
