Through the 16 experiments in this book, you will learn what electricity is, which materials are conductors and which are insulators, what magnetic fields are and how they behave, as well as other concepts that are directly related to the objects found in our homes. Today we live in a world that depends on electricity.

The books in the series "The Magic of Science" provide children aged 6 to 12 with a multitude of experiments related to daily events in their lives, such as sound, light and colors, electricity and magnetism, chemical reactions and mixtures. The experiments presented in each book include crafts that can be done at home or at school through simple, easy-to-understand steps and enjoyable illustrations.

Children come into contact with basic principles of the natural world and learn by creating and playing.
