## Description

Intro to Engineering welcomes young children to the field of engineering with 25 experiments and building projects in five sections. By engaging in hands-on activities, children will learn how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices. Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys. Build simple devices using these basic components. Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and a wind-up car. Next, investigate engineering with air (and in the air) by building a helicopter, a pinwheel, a parachute, a glider, a balloon rocket, and an air-powered carousel. Then, build a diving bell, a sailboat, and a paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water. Finally, find engineering in your own home with experiments modeling the telephone and television. With a 48-page guidebook, Intro to Engineering teaches engineering fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments and building projects.

Review: No es más que un plástico, unas mini macetas y sobres de semillas con un cudernillo de experimentos. No vale la pena para nada. Compren unas bolsas de semillas, unas macetas y un poco de tierra, se gastarán menos de la mitad y lograrán exactamente lo mismo.
Review: Got it for a birthday. Lots of activities to do. Fun with science!

Gekocht voor mijn zoontje met Sinterklaas. Helaas valt het pakket tegen, prijs kwaliteit staat niet met elkaar in verhouding. Opdrachten kun je niet goed uitvoeren omdat de kwaliteit van het materiaal niet goed genoeg is en het proefje daardoor mislukt.
