Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 3-5. Simple machines and experiments demonstrating how they work are described for 13 science projects, including devices driven by axles and winches. Color photographs, drawings, and step-by-step instructions for each machine lead the would-be scientist from idea to working model. Although the machines are simple, the construction may prove complicated for younger readers. There are no lists of supplies, but a careful reading of the instructions and some adult supervision should ensure the success of these projects. Denia Hester

This review is from: Wheels, Pulleys and Levers (Science Workshop) (Library Binding)

I got this for my 5 year old son who likes wheels, etc. and it is a really neat book. With cardboard, scissors, and brass paper fasteners and a few other common objects you can make some really neat physics projects for the very young.

It doesn't overload with information and the projects are really fun, discovering things like friction and force with toys and toy-like gadgets that are pretty easy to make.
