5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Very Good books in the series, 3 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This, and the other books in the Horrible Science series, will teach you about science in a new and fun way. It includes experiments to do at home, and questions to see how much you really know about electricity. The front cover is good and the humerous pictures and diagrams means that it is an excellent read.

4.0 out of 5 stars `Shocking Electricity' will blow your fuse! ', 1 Mar 2007

By	A B CeDar - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

`Shocking Electricity' will blow your fuse!
Are you buzzing to discover:-

how an electric eel can give you a nasty shock?
why electricity keeps your heart pounding?
which scientist gave electric shocks to his eyeballs?

If you think you can stomach the `sick' side of Science, then read on as we switch you on to some electrifying facts. Find out why magnets help birds fly, get to grips with the electric wobbling toilet seat and meet the Atom family as they're zapped into an electric circuit.

With fantastic fact files and curious quizzes, teacher tests and crazy cartoons, `Shocking Electricity' is fizzing with info!'

160 pages, written in a variety of fonts in the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.
Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as `Bet you never knew' fact-boxes, e.g.:-

`Electrons really are tiny. An electron is actually ten thousand times smaller than the nucleus. If you had a very steady hand you could put 1,000,000,000,000 (one thousand billion) electrons in a line and even then you wouldn't have quite enough to stretch across a pinhead!'

Science has never been so horrible!
