Everyday Stem Engineering?Chemical Engineering

Discover how the chemical section of engineering is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science—Chemical Engineering. Following on from Everyday STEM Technology—Civil Engineering, comes another branch of engineering – chemical. Explore all about this fascinating side of engineering: what is involved, where we see it and how it is used. The experiments carried out in laboratories away from our eyes have a huge impact on our lives and includes advances made in medicine, food, biomechanics, and surgery. From vaccinations created for devastating diseases and viruses (including COVID) to research on how feed a growing population with as low an impact on the environment as possible. Plus, meet the engineers and scientists whose discoveries are changing our lives for the better, including Tu youyou, Merkus Rehm, and Jamie Garcia. Readers can also carry out engineering experiments at home. With easy-to-understand text written by Jenny Jacoby, fun callouts and lots of colourful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter space and why it’s even important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their “future success,” these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can’t promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the purpose of, and practical applications for, STEM.
