Discover how science affects our daily lives with Everyday
STEM--Chemical Engineering, filled with inventions, stories, and
experiments to try at home.
Engineering is all around you! From raising agents in bread to
life-saving medicine and eco-friendly fuel, chemical engineering has
transformed our lives. Discover the animal inspiration behind running
blades, watch DNA technology in action, and see how engineering can help
to feed the world. Plus, meet the engineers and scientists whose
discoveries are changing our lives for the better, including Tu Youyou,
Markus Rehm, and Jamie Garcia. Then put your engineering skills to the
test with the cool at-home experiments.
With easy-to-understand text written by science communicator Jenny
Jacoby, and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can
best explore where we encounter chemical engineering 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.
