The Next Wave: The quest to harness the power of the oceans by Elizabeth Rusch - ESSENTIAL


Rusch, Elizabeth The Next Wave: The quest to harness the power of the oceans, 73 p.  NON-FICTION.  Houghton Mifflin, 2014.  $19.  Content: G.  

The Next Wave looks at several different projects that scientists are currently working on and deploying in order to harness the power of ocean waves in order to generate electricity.  Still the best long term science series available.  

The entire Scientists in the Field series has applications for every grade level.  Conceived before STEM was ever a buzzword for education, each book looks at current scientists and the contributions they are making in this century – a boon to teachers and students who are tired of looking at the same dozen scientists as if they are the only ones who have made important discoveries.  

EL, MS, HS – ESSENTIAL.
