5.0 out of 5 stars Make it Work!: Flight, October 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flight (Make it Work! Science) (Paperback)

We just received Flight (Make it Work!) in the mail and promptly started on a project! We are homeschoolers and always looking for fun ways to learn. This book really impressed me. The projects are colorful and interesting, and captured my children's interest immediately. As I write my 9 year old son is making the cannon - page 12. Now that is high praise!

This review is from: Flight (Make It Work) (Hardcover)

This book is full of great do-it-your-self projects for kids (and adults) to build. Great stuff for cub scouts. I especially enjoyed the space shuttle/rocket booster powered by air preasure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some things in this book are wrong!, June 6, 2011

This review is from: Flight (Make it Work! Science) (Paperback)

This book is very well layed out however there are some things wrong.

On page 36 to 39 it talks about flight control. The pictures show a wooden model with strings that pull on the different control surfaces to fly the plane. They have the controls for the Elevator and Ailerons backwards.

Apart from that this is a good book.
