What if your fridge, your body, and the entire universe all follow the same four laws?

In Physics Basics Thermodynamics for Kids, young readers discover the science of heat and energy through clear, plain-English explanations that make even entropy feel like common sense. From why ice melts to why stars eventually burn out, every concept connects to the real world kids already know.

Inside this book, your child will explore:

  • Why heat is actually moving energy - not a substance - and how it flows between atoms
  • The four laws of thermodynamics explained step by step, including the zeroth, first, second, and third laws
  • How steam engines and heat engines work - and why no engine can ever be perfectly efficient
  • Why refrigerators and air conditioners pump heat backward - and what happens when you leave the fridge door open
  • What happens during melting, boiling, and condensation - and why boiling water stays exactly at 100 C
  • Absolute zero - the coldest temperature possible - and the strange quantum world near it
  • How your own body burns food as fuel, why it runs at 37 C, and how sweating cools you down
  • Entropy, disorder, and the heat death of the universe - from the Big Bang all the way to the end of everything
