Published 14 August 2001
This new series looks at a range of common materials and explores where each one comes from, how it is extracted, purified, designed, manufactured and recycled. Each book examines the material's properties and the technologies used to shape it into products used in everyday life. Features include: lavish illustration with photos and detailed technical artwork; technology boxes showing the steps in a particular manufacturing process; historical facts explaining how processes were done in the past; into the future sections which look at what advances might be made in the 21st Century
Text and experiments demonstrate the properties, behavior, and uses of light.

This series is a highly visual introduction to scientific concepts, how they can be understood and demonstrated and how we make use of them. Each book contains easy-to-do projects.
Presents information on the nature and properties of electricity and magnetism, how they are used, and the need for conservation.
Did you know...? Without friction we would not be able to walk without slipping. A layer of air can help an object to slide along. A staircase is actually a very simple machine. This book explains these facts and more about forces and motion, and shows how these scientific principles are part of our daily lives.
