Crafty Inventions Book Set

Learn the science behind great inventions through the ages.

Grades: 3 - 6

See how challenging problems throughout history led to brilliant inventions. Students first read a humorous, illustrated story that establishes a scientific problem. A follow-up details the basic science principle of the solution, and step-by-step instructions help construct the invention or experiment. Readers explore 10 inventions per book, from early inventions like the screw or stirrups, to modern-day technologies such as microprocessors and cell phones, or top tens such as the lightbulb and radio. Along the way, explore important scientific principles and vocabulary like friction, inertia, fulcrum, eclipse, antibody, and gigahertz. Each includes a glossary and index.
