About
the Series The main focus of the
How Are They
Made?series is turning raw materials into products through mass or
small-scale production. Each book presents a product familiar to children (for
example, items of clothing, items they use at school, and items they use at
home) and follows its production—from the raw material(s) to the finished
product. The books also include:
-
A brief history of the product
-
When the product was invented and by whom
-
Environmental aspects of using energy and resources in
manufacturing
-
Where in the world the raw materials come from
-
The countries in which these items were manufactured and
exported
