為什麼按下開關電燈就會亮?
為什麼水龍頭一開就有水流出來?
看似理所當然的每個生活小動作都像魔術,
本書以家的生活空間作為情境帶入問題,
逐一幫讀者解開這些「魔術」背後的祕密,
展示水、電、瓦斯的來源及去向。

The inner workings of a home are laid out for kids in fun, retro illustrations jam-packed with the technology behind everyday life.
How does flipping a switch on the wall make the lights come on? Where does the clean water that flows out of the faucet come from? What is used to keep a home warm? Travel beyond the walls and under the floors of a house to find out more about the electricity, water, and natural gas that make your home work — and find out how you can do your part to save energy and preserve these resources.
