Mechanical Engineering : Machines & Vehicles
Overview
The impact of mechanical engineering is all around us. This broad, dynamic field encompasses the design, development, and testing of basically anything that moves--from tools and devices to bridges and spaceships. This action-packed introductory kit explores the science of machines and vehicles with 20 building projects. A durable, reusable building system can be combined and reconfigured into fun and functional models that include a tightrope walker, elevator, crane, windmill, and all-wheel drive ATV. Use the assembled models to conduct 22 hands-on experiments that demonstrate important lessons like forces, gravity, storing and converting energy. The 80-page, full-color manual provides step-by-step illustrated assembly instructions and clear, thorough explanations of the "why" and "how" of each experiment. The blend of interactive models, easily digestible facts, and real-world examples delivers a comprehensive science kit that is both entertaining and educational.
