Encourages systems thinking
Helps children consider how energy connects with other parts of life, including transport, food production and the design of future cities.
Description
See Inside Future Energy by Tom Mumbray and Amy Chiu, explores some pretty extraordinary ideas for powering our future. What if wind turbines floated high above the clouds, solar panels collected energy in space, or ships sailed using nothing but the power of the Sun? Lift the flaps to discover these possibilities alongside other technologies, including wave power, geothermal energy and nuclear fusion. The book also looks at how we might store energy, grow food and travel differently as we work towards a cleaner future. It’s an interesting look at how engineers and scientists could tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our planet, with plenty of ambitious ideas to get children thinking.
