SuitabookBaby loves thermodynamics!
Ruth Spiro
- Reading
- Read it together and pause over the pictures to trace the energy’s path. Invite your child to point out where sunlight, air or water fit into the tree’s growth.
- Themes
- An everyday route into thermodynamics: The book connects the sun’s energy with a tree’s growth and fruit, then with Baby. It uses this concrete sequence to explain an introductory science idea in simple terms, rather than setting out a wide-ranging account of thermodynamics.
- Worth knowing
- The thermodynamics here is presented through energy transfer and plant growth, rather than a broad account of heat transfer; readers may want to add examples from everyday life.
