Series Review: Powering Our World"This series covers the title energy sources in an easy-to-understand style that students will find interesting and informative. The books discuss the history of each energy source, how it is harnessed or produced, any problems, and its future. Maps, charts, and boldfaced vocabulary words are included in each title. These books have a larger font, making it easier to read for younger students, while providing older students with accurate, age-appropriate information. Teachers can use these books to introduce energy sources to students and older students can use them for independent research. The series will be a valuable addition and basic building block in any elementary school collection."
