Discover how energy is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science-Energy. Energy is all around us But where does it come from and how is it used? Explore the different types of energy, from the electromagnetic energy that keeps us connected, to the geothermal energy deep inside Earth. Discover how we can all be more energy efficient, the renewable energies that will transform our planet, and the scientists who brought energy to life, including Marie Curie, Christina Lampe- nnerud, and Sophie Blanchard. Readers can also carry out cool energy experiments at home. With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Dr Shini Somara and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter energy and why it's even important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.

Discover how physics is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science-Physics. Explore how physics is all around us Discover how physics keeps a plane in the air, find out about light and dark matter, and meet the scientists who have brought physics to life, including Shohini Gose, Michael Faraday, and Vera Rubin. Readers can also carry out cool physics experiments at home.

Tarinamuotoinen tietokirja innostaa harjoittelemaan matikkataitoja. Alissa lähtee serkkunsa kanssa telttaretkelle ja oppii, että matemaattisia ilmiöitä on kaikkialla ympärillämme. Lukuja tarvitaan, kun lasketaan rahoja eväitä ostaessa tai pohditaan junamatkaan kuluvaa aikaa. Myös luonnossa, tähtitaivaalla ja jopa simpukankuorissa on matematiikkaa. Retken aikana Alissa keksii ratkaisun moneen matemaattiseen pulmaan - ehkä hänestäkin tulee isona matikkataitaja, ihan niin kuin Ami-serkusta! Tekniikan tohtori Shini Somaran asiantunteva teksti ja Nadja Sarellin kekseliäs kuvitus kannustavat nuorta lukijaa havainnoimaan matemaattisia ilmiöitä sekä kehittämään omaa laskupäätään ja päättelykykyään.

Innostava tietokirja esittelee koodaamisen perusteita. Tiedonhaluisen Samuelin mielessä pyörii monia kysymyksiä, joihin hauska päivä Jenna-tädin seurassa antaa vastaukset. Täti on koodari, joka ohjelmoi työkseen tietokoneita eli kirjoittaa niille toimintaohjeita. Taitavat koodarit saavat tietokoneet tekemään uskomattomia asioita - ilman heitä meillä ei olisi videopelejä tai Marsia tutkivia robotteja! Ehkä Samuel voisi kokeilla ohjelmoimista itsekin ja kenties isompana tulla oikeaksi koodariksi! Tekniikan tohtori Shini Somaran asiantunteva teksti ja Nadja Sarellin kekseliäs kuvitus johdattavat nuoren lukijan ongelmanratkaisun, tietokoneiden ja koodaamisen maailmaan.

Innostava lasten tietokirja kurkistaa luonnontieteiden maailmaan ja kertoo tutkijoista ja tieteen saavutuksista ympärillämme. Robinin mielestä maailma on mahdottoman kiinnostava paikka, ja hauska retki merenrantaan tuo eteen paljon uutta pohdittavaa. Robinin äiti osaa vastata moneen kysymykseen, sillä hän on biologi, joka tutkii työkseen elävää luontoa. Tekniikan tohtori Shini Somaran asiantunteva teksti ja Nadja Sarellin kekseliäs kuvitus johdattavat nuoren lukijan tarkkailemaan asioita, esineitä ja ilmiöitä tutkijan silmin.

Sara suhtautuu ympäröivään maailmaan uteliaisuudella ja ihmetyksellä - selvää insinööriainesta siis! Miten hissi ja liukuportaat toimivat? Kuinka lentokone pysyy ilmassa? Mikä on WiFi? Entä miten vuoristoradan vaunut voivat kulkea ylösalaisin? Saralla riittää kysymyksiä, mutta onneksi hänen mumminsa on insinööri ja tietää vastaukset! Tekniikan tohtori Shini Somaran asiantunteva teksti ja Nadja Sarellin kekseliäs kuvitus johdattavat nuoren lukijan tarkkailemaan asioita, esineitä ja ilmiöitä insinöörin silmin. Sarjan myöhemmin ilmestyvissä jatko-osissa tutustutaan mm. tutkijan ja matemaatikon työhön sekä koodaamiseen.
