Move It!

Many of the technologies we depend on today grew out of science and engineering. This book shows young readers how to put those principles to work at home, building their own inventions once they understand the ideas behind them.

The book is built around ten projects. Among them are a toy car powered by wind and a two-stage balloon rocket. Each activity is laid out simply, with bright illustrations and directions that move through the build one step at a time.

Throughout, the text points out how each project connects to important STEM concepts, including physics, energy and Newton's laws.
