21. 3-D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes (Build It Yourself)
by: Vicki V. May, Andrew Christensen Release date: Nov 17, 2015 Number of Pages: 128 Find in Library Read Review |
In 3D Engineering: Design and Build Your Own Prototypes, young readers tackle real-life engineering problems by figuring out real-life solutions. Kids apply science and math skills to create prototypes for bridges, instruments, alarms, and more. Prototypes are preliminary models used by engineers—and kids—to evaluate ideas and to better understand how things work.
Engineering design starts with an idea. How do we get to the other side of the river? How do we travel long distances in short periods of time? Using a structured engineering design process, kids learn how to brainstorm, build a prototype, test a prototype, evaluate, and re-design. Projects include designing a cardboard chair to understand the stiffness of structural systems and designing and building a set of pan pipes to experiment with pitch and volume.
Creating prototypes is a key step in the engineering design process and prototyping early in the design process generally results in better processes and products. 3D Engineering gives kids a chance to figure out many different prototypes, empowering them to discover the mechanics of the world we know.

Meet the little dot that lives inside your computer. When you have switched it off, he takes the opportunity to visit his friend, the Duchess of Amalfi.

There are soldiers in white uniforms at the bottom of the hill, that he likes to cover in ink — and then he dances with them, because he is ashamed of himself. He’s pretty good at dancing — as long as he doesn’t wiggle he won’t make a single blot.
