Bluetooth

Bluetooth devices use radio waves from a small computer chip to connect. When one Bluetooth device comes close to another Bluetooth device, they send radio signals to one another—with no wires, cables, or cords. This amazing technology allows you to take computers, game devices, and many other objects from room to room. This book will allow students to use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.

Filled with full-color photographs and reading comprehension activities, this book effectively engages students and complements the research of how an important piece of technology works. Bluetooth allows students to make observations and gather information about a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.

Each 24-book features a teacher-focused concept, before- and after-reading activities, a photo glossary, and more, for a well-rounded understanding of the topic. The How It Works series lets young readers explore and research the technology and design of important, everyday things and how they are engineered. With simple-to-follow text and full-color photographs, these books easily engage young learners to discover the inner workings of complex objects and concepts. | Bluetooth devices use radio waves from a small computer chip to connect.

Even the youngest readers can learn the basics of aerodynamics (Airplanes) and drive gears (Escalators) without feeling overwhelmed. Uncluttered and streamlined, the clean design makes the vibrant images pop without drawing focus away from the content. Questions within the text actively engage readers to think about the science-based ideas critically, and the noteworthy “Photo Glossary” provides the audience with a visual frame of reference by connecting an image from the text to the word it’s defining. A “Before and After Reading Activities” section at the beginning of each volume should prove helpful to educators as they integrate STEM titles into the curriculum. Ideal offerings. - School Library Journal
