Synopsis

A funny and fascinating look at different types of energy and where things go -from food to solar - in the world around us!

Explore the energy all around us. Follow the journey that different types of energy take. From the food energy that enables you to move your body to the energy that powers moving objects and even the electrical energy used in your home. Understand how the sources of energy we used to rely on are contributing to global warming and learn about sustainable forms of energy. This book takes you on a funny whirlwind journey where you'll find out about different energy types, where they come from, where they go and the lasting effect they have on our planet.

Where Does it Go? is a humorous science series aimed at 7-9 year olds about states of matter explored through the world around us - how they feature in our daily lives (including in our body) and where they end up!

The fully colour illustrated spreads cover a wide range of fun and unusual facts which put the familiar and unseen things around us into context as we discover the journeys they make.

About this title

About the Authors

Helen Greathead is a highly experienced creator, editor, project manager and writer of successful non-fiction titles and series. She spent 14 years at Scholastic Children's Books where she commissioned series, including Horrible Histories. She began a freelance career in 2003, and titles she has written include the Now You Know series (Scholastic) and the Design and Make series (Watts).

In the third grade, Kyle sold a drawing of a bluebird wearing sunglasses at lunch. His payment? One chocolate chip cookie! From that first commission on, he knew he wanted to be an illustrator. It wasn't until much later (he had almost finished eating his cookie) that he decided to be a writer, too. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, he started putting drawings and words on every piece of paper he could find, and maybe even a wall or two. It's been a long time since third grade, but not much has changed about Kyle. He still writes and draws stories for anyone who likes the quirky, the strange and the not-so-serious.
