It is widely acknowledged that the comprehension of science and technological artifacts is very difficult for both children and adults. The material is conceptually complex, there is very little background knowledge for most individuals, and the materials are often poorly written. Therefore, it is no surprise that students are turned off from learning science and technology. Given these challenges, it is important to design scientific text in a fashion that fits the 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects 606 $aScience$vTextbooks 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aScience 676 $a501/.9 701 $aOtero$b Jose?$0911851 701 $aLeo?n$b Jose?
