Hands-On Science
4 total works
Looking at each method of transport in turn, this exhaustive reference examines the developing technologies through the ages and charts discoveries such as the wheel, steam power, the internal combustion engine and jet propulsion. Over 40 projects show how things work, including how ships float and how birds fly, make a monorail or a model plane. Meet the pioneers and inventors that made it all happen and find out what the future holds.
This informative title provides details and illustrations of factors such as the seasons, the rise and fall of tides, humidity and the weather. Each concept is clearly demonstrated by an easy-to-follow accompanying project. Learning about the complex principles that sets the Earth apart from other planets in the solar system has never been easier or more fun. The children's science titles that comprise this series match up with the Key Stage Two science objectives of obtaining and presenting evidence, and considering evidence and evaluating that evidence. Each title is illustrated with over 150 colour images and clear step-by-step photographs and instructions describe exactly how to follow through simple but fun experiments and projects. The series enhances National Curriculum Key Stage 2 Science ("obtaining and presenting evidence' planning and questioning; considering evidence and evaluating") in addition all essential subject areas of curriculum are also covered.
