What's In Your Car 2. Another fun ride through the periodic table. - Matthew Topper;Paul Krajewski

What's In Your Car 2 is an engaging and imaginative STEM book that brings the periodic table to life through poetry, vivid imagery, and real-world automotive applications. By exploring how elements are used throughout modern vehicles, the book helps readers connect chemistry, engineering, manufacturing, and everyday technology in a memorable and creative way.

Each element is introduced through accessible poems and carefully selected pictures that show where it appears in a car - from lithium in batteries and iron in steel frames to silicon in electronics, copper in wiring, and platinum in catalytic converters. This unique combination of art, science, and storytelling transforms complex scientific concepts into something students, families, and educators can easily understand and enjoy.

Designed as both an educational resource and a conversation starter, What's In Your Car 2 encourages curiosity about how the world is built. Readers gain a deeper appreciation for the role of the periodic table in transportation, sustainability, energy systems, safety, and innovation. The book also highlights the interdisciplinary nature of STEM by connecting chemistry with physics, materials science, environmental studies, and automotive engineering.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, homeschooling, and young innovators, What's In Your Car 2 serves as a powerful educational tool that inspires students to see science everywhere around them - even in the cars they ride in every day. Through creativity and real-world examples, the book makes STEM learning approachable, visual, and fun.
