First Thousand Years Library Bound Book

Grades: 3 - 6

A story, a problem, a list of possible solutions, and - Eureka! You have it! Become an inventor, and test your creative skills with an experiment or make-and-do construction.

Progress has led to more exciting inventions. Find out why astronomers developed the astrolabe, learn how military signals led to the invention of the kite, and discover how the abacus made arithmetic easy. Then get your bearings with your own working compass, look through a pinhole camera, rig-up a model boat, and cast a jelly had.

Your students can explore ten different inventions and step-by-step instructions allow them to construct the invention or experiment.
