Electricity and magnetism are energy forms that people have known about and studied for thousands of years. Although these energy forms have existed for so longs, they have only had practical use in society for the last several hundred years. Neither source of energy can be seen, heard, or smelled, yet we know they exist. Prior to the use of these energies, people used other forms of energy to help with their work. For example, wood was burned to keep houses warm and cook food. Water and wind power were harnessed to grind grain and pump water. This book gives you and the students the opportunity to learn from the whole of your experience- this sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches, as well as what you read, write about, and do. This whole-science approach allows you to experience and understand your world as you to experience and understand your world as you explore science concpets and skills together.
