The sun is a source of energy for living things. Energy that comes from sunshine is called solar energy. But how does solar energy work? And how can we use solar energy to not only stay on the cutting-edge of technology, but to help keep the environment healthy?
Read and find out about solar roads that light up when there's danger ahead, like a moose on the road--and did you know that someday tiny solar chips placed in someone's eyes could help a blind person see? Learn all this and more!
Running on Sunshine comes packed with visual aids like charts, sidebars, an infographic, and a hands-on activity--how to direct sunlight using mirrors! Both the text and the artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Bart Bartlett, Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan.
