Sail a toy ship across the ocean... Build an igloo... Ollie and
Harry Ferguson did it-and you can too! Starting with a list of 500
"adventures", the Scottish brothers set out to live life to its
fullest. They've photographed the sea floor, launched a plastic toy
into space, mummified fish and tracked wild animals; they've gone
magnet fishing and camping, sailed aboard a deep-sea diving vessel,
caught lobsters, made a bathtub in the woods, crossed the ocean in
a toy boat, gone on a meteorite hunt, made a megapult, raised
chickens, built an outdoor shelter, sailed a kite boat, built a
wildlife reserve, went on a mountain hike and have flown trained
falcons. With striking colour photographs and featuring
step-by-step directions for some of the boys' best adventures, this
book provides guidance that will inspire families to marvellous
adventures of their own.
Believe it or not, water can be used to power boat and train
engines. In fact, water in the form of steam changed the
manufacturing and transportation industries thanks to steam power
pioneers like Denis Papin, Thomas Newcomen, James Watt, and Richard
Trevithick. Explore the ways that steam is now used to generate
electricity and plans for future uses of steam power! Created in
collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, this Smithsonian
Informational Text builds reading skills while engaging students'
curiosity about STEAM topics through real-world examples. Packed
with factoids and informative sidebars, it features a hands-on
STEAM challenge that is perfect for use in a makerspace and teaches
students every step of the engineering design process. Make STEAM
career connections with career advice from actual Smithsonian
employees working in STEAM fields. Discover engineering innovations
that solve real-world problems with content that touches on all
aspects of STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and
Math!

A graphically stunning, first-ever volume of nautical codes for
children This extraordinary visual reference is an introduction to
maritime communication through nautical flags, along with morse
code, the phonetic alphabet, and semaphore signaling. Today's
system of international maritime signal flags was devel-oped in the
19th century, and is still used for communication between ships, or
between ship and shore. Each flag, boldly colored for visual
distinction at sea, stands for a letter as well as a phrase
relevant to seafaring. The resulting code is both beautiful and
functional, inviting readers to code and decode messages of their
own! Created for ages 6-8 years

This book presents innovations in teaching and learning science,
novel approaches to science curriculum, cultural and contextual
factors in promoting science education and improving the standard
and achievement of students in East Asian countries. The authors in
this book discuss education reform and science curriculum changes
and promotion of science and STEM education, parental roles and
involvement in children's education, teacher preparation and
professional development and research in science education in the
context of international benchmarking tests to measure the
knowledge of mathematics and science such as the Trends in
Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and achievement in science,
mathematics and reading like Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA). Among the high achieving countries, the
performance of the students in East Asian countries such as
Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and China (Shanghai) are
notable. This book investigates the reasons why students from East
Asian countries consistently claim the top places in each and every
cycle of those study. It brings together prominent science
educators and researchers from East Asia to share their experience
and findings, reflection and vision on emerging trends, pedagogical
innovations and research-informed practices in science education in
the region. It provides insights into effective educational
strategies and development of science education to international
readers.

'From the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge to building on the
moon, this utterly fascinating and visually stunning book is sure
to build sky-scraping curiosity in young engineers' Kate Pankhurst,
author of the Fantastically Great Women series 'I adored reading
How Was That Built? with my son. The fascinating facts and huge
detailed pictures led to lots of interesting conversations for both
of us. You will never take buildings for granted again!' David
Walliams, comedian and children's author As seen on Steph's Packed
Lunch and featured in Cerys Matthew's BBC Radio 6 Music show and
'The Dreams We Live Inside' on BBC Radio 4 Join Roma Agrawal, the
award-winning structural engineer who worked on The Shard, for an
exciting behind-the-scenes look at some of the world's most amazing
landmarks. Meet the extraordinary people who challenged our beliefs
about what's possible, pioneering remarkable inventions that helped
build the Brooklyn Bridge in the US, the Pantheon in Italy, the
Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Shard in England and the Sapporo Dome in
Japan. Discover the ingenious methods engineers have come up with
to enable us to build underground, underwater, on ice and even in
space. And learn about the impact different forces and materials
can have on a structure by carrying out your own engineering
experiments from the 'Try it at Home' sections. Beautiful and
detailed illustrations by Katie Hickey, including cross-sections,
skylines and close-ups of engineering techniques in action, provide
unique and illuminating perspectives of our most awe-inspiring
constructions. Get ready to see the built world around you like
never before! 'Exploring this beautiful book feels like having a
conversation with Roma, full of expert insight and fascinating
detail. With playful illustrations, stacks of brand-new information
and plenty of context - this is children's non-fiction at its best'
Isabel Thomas, science writer and author of Moth and Fox 'Skilfully
illustrated and filled with remarkable details, this book is a
treat for any young engineer. Roma's breadth of knowledge and
genuine passion shines through every page. It's simply beautiful'
Angela Saini, science journalist and author 'Open this book at any
page and you are immediately sucked into the fascination of how
things work - a wonderful achievement and a beautiful one too' Mark
Miodownik, materials engineer, broadcaster and author of Stuff
Matters 'How Was That Built? is a brilliant and essential book ...
Hopefully schools and libraries will purchase the book in big
numbers because it deserves to be widely read and discussed. I also
think it will do a lot to encourage young people to consider a
career in construction' Infrastructure-Intelligence.com
