Wired

By: Anastasia Suen / Illustrated by: Paul Carrick Be smart about power! Are you reading this by lamplight? That lamp is probably powered by electricity! But how does the electricity get to the lamp? You flip the “on” switch, which is connected to a cord that plugs onto an outlet that’s connected to a cable that’s made up of wires that are connected to wires outside that are all full of electrons zooming from a power plant into your house. . . Don't worry! It only seems complicated.  Dynamic three-dimensional illustrations track electricity from its source at the power plant to its end point in your home. Back matter includes suggested websites and further reading, as well as electricity safety tips and a glossary and index of electrical terms.
