A Leaf in Time (Making Sense of Science) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Covering energy, plants and people, this book explains how almost all of our energy comes from the sun. It describes the process by which humans turn fuels and food into carbon dioxide to release energy, yet green leaves do exactly the opposite. The process of photosynthesis is explained in an easy-to-understand way, and children learn how plants turn light into electrical energy and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into food. The book is part of a series aimed at making learning about science fun for children. Each book is written by a scientist prominent in their field and the series covers a wide range of science and technology subjects.
