This activity-based series encourages the reader to explore simple design and technology concepts and try them out in practical projects. Each book explains the basic principles of the subject, starting with simple concepts of fundamental design, such as those found in nature, and working through to advanced modern technology. Each section includes a practical project or experiment to illustrate the design principles involved. Colour illustrations explain in detail the practical projects, while colour photographs are widely used to enhance the main text. This book introduces children to a wide variety of structures found in the natural world - honeycombs, birds' nests and beavers' lodges - and those made by people - bridges, skyscrapers and motorways.
