Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up the World: Candlewick Biographies [Rusch, Elizabeth, Dominguez, Oliver] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up the World: Candlewick Biographies Review: A Good Choice for STEM Education - Best book I found on the topic. It reads more like a story than the other children’s books about Nikola Tesla. Currently using it at the 4th grade level. Students make a very simple electric motor after reading the book. Together, the book and the lab address the nature of invention, electricity, energy conversion (electrical to mechanical), and more. Highly recommend this book for integrating literacy and STEM education. Review: Tesla Lights the World, one bright young mind at a time - Light on dates within the text, as others have noted, HOWEVER, a very clear timeline of important events is included in an appendix after the story. The story is always in the details and this one relies on the details of his life to keep the interest of primary readers. We found it engaging as an introduction to the controversial and incomprehensible genius of Tesla. In conjunction with The Inventor Tesla, a graphic novel with amazing illustrations and uncanny knack for building suspense, these two books could give your child a real love of the fascinating LIFE of inventors. As if the inventions weren't good enough, their lives are inspirational, too! Let them explore more with youtube and. Netflix and you may have an inventors revolution in your classroom or home:) These inspired a homemade 9v Tesla Coil for a primary school student. FYI: Budding Tesla "Coilers" should research the schematics and add an LED with its OWN r-valued resistor.... It will make sense when you try it:)

and photoshopped to look like paintings. (They don't)
As far as I know this is the only children's picture book about Tesla out there that's worth buying (correct me if I'm wrong). I won't mention the name of the other one I bought but it's about Tesla's childhood cat. The 'illustrator' of that book hadn't done any research, and all her 'illustrations' are actually just photographs of models wearing contemporary clothes (t-shirts) and hairstyles, and photoshopped to look like paintings. (They don't). If you see it please don't waste your money; it's atrocious. Buy this one instead. I actually wrote to the author of that book and asked him what the pictures were like. He replied that the 'illustrator' had a degree from a prestigious college. She should give it back. Electrical Wizard is great. The illustrator has done his homework, and the artwork has a nice, slightly caricatured style. My only criticism is that it's too short: the Wardencyffe Tower episode, for example, is more or less a footnote at the back. Still, until the next children's book about Tesla is published this will do nicely. And considering the way Nikola Tesla has been airbrushed from history we should be grateful even this one exists.

Tesla Secret VSWR power tuning!
Very Interesting; Book relates to Young Readers! MS Rusch provides Nikola's Energy Power Secret; i.e, = "Resonance Tuning w/ Bifilar wound Coils" (Tesla never' ID'd this; to keep others from stealing his patents) tho he said that in 100 yrs (from 1920's)..That Mankind will understand how in Colorado; Lighting up Glass Globes & Motors; 20 miles from his lab w/out wires! He detailed this in his Lecture @ Franklin Institute w/ winding Chart & tuning approach to raise 1 Volt to 110 V ! His Colorado notes cover this in detail .. & why July 3rd 1899, was key to his "Power & VSWR!" - Free Energy ! We consulted as "Tesla Inc" for years,,,

Fascinating Book!
This was a fascinating book! My kids (ages 9&6) had been introduced to Tesla in a fiction book and we were all curious who he actually was. This book was informative and entertaining! The type of book that will be picked up again and again!

Great read
I enjoy seeing illustrations in educational books. It draws my children in to the book. I appreciate that there was a good amount of information for my child to understand Tesla as he lived but also to want to learn more about electricity.

it was really easy for him to read and he used the pictures ...
bought this for my 9 year old son for his book report. it was really easy for him to read and he used the pictures to help draw his inventions and a portrait on a poster board.

The book is very well done with illustrations. It will take generations to discover the findings of Nikola Tesla who was and is still ignored and put down by American society, entrepreneurs and even Establishment.

My Grade 3 son loves this book that he finished reading it in one sitting! He is fascinated by every invention from Nikola Tesla, and is very much inspired.
