Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself how the inventions, gadgets, and devices that surround us actually work? Discover the hidden workings of everyday technology with this graphic guide. How Technology Works demystifies the machinery that keeps the modern world going, from simple objects such as zip fasteners and can openers to the latest, most sophisticated devices of the information age, including smartwatches, personal digital assistants, and driverless cars. It includes inventions that have changed the course of history, like the internal combustion engine, as well as technologies that might hold the key to our future survival, including solar cells and new kinds of farming to feed a growing population. Throughout the book, step-by-step explanations are supported by simple and original graphics that take devices apart and show you how they work. The opening chapter explains principles that underpin lots of devices, from basic mechanics to electricity to digital technology. From there, devices are grouped by application--such as the home, transportation, and computing--making them easy to find and placing similar devices side by side. How Technology Works is perfect for anyone who didn't have training in STEM subjects at school or is simply curious about how the modern world works.
Download or read book Explaining Electricity written by Jim (James William) Ross and published by Wellington, Ont. : Ross Lattner Educational Consultants. This book was released on 2004 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity can be easy to understand! A fruitful model of simple electric circuits is developed and applied in these pages. The approach is highly pictorial: electric potential (Volts) and electric current (Amps) are represented by simple diagrams. The student is expected to use these diagrams as the principal mode of analyzing circuits. When algebra and equations are introduced, the student already has an understanding of V, I, R and P from the diagrams. As in all of the Ross Lattner IntuitivScience series, diagrams are an important mode of expression. Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book! We provide solid pedagogical supports, recipes, and methods of presentation. The unit itself is further subdivided into four sections, approximating four weeks of 70-minute classes. 1. Static electricity and the electrical structure of matter 2. Characteristics of electric current, and development of a model of current, potential, resistance and power 3. Mathematical treatment of series and parallel circuits 4. Projects that are either an application of the model or an extensions of the model. At the end of sections 1 - 3 is a thorough quiz, in the same pictorial style. Because this unit involves fundamental forces and concepts, we recommend that it be placed first in the series of the four Ross Lattner Grade Nine Academic IntuitivScience books. In particular, this book should be placed before chemistry.
