Uses simple experiments to explore wheels, pulleys, levers, friction, and lift in terms of inventions and discoveries underlying the modern mechanical world.
Describes various kinds of simple machines, showing how they can be made out of easily obtainable objects and detailing experiments that show how they make tasks easier to perform.
From simple machines to Newton's laws of motion, the concepts in these science projects for future engineers will provide a rich foundation for science fairs, experiments, or classroom activities.
