Leonardo's Science Workshop leads children on an interactive
adventure through key science concepts by following the
multidisciplinary approach of the Renaissance period polymath
Leonardo da Vinci: experimenting, creating projects, and exploring
how art intersects with science and nature. Photos of Leonardo's
own notebooks, paintings, and drawings provide visual inspiration.
More than 500 years ago, Leonardo knew that the fields of science,
technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) are all
connected. The insatiably curious Leonardo examined not just the
outer appearance of his art subjects, but the science that
explained them. He began his studies as a painter, but his
curiosity, diligence, and genius made him also a master sculptor,
architect, designer, scientist, engineer, and inventor. The
Leonardo's Workshop series shares this spirit of multidisciplinary
inquiry with children through accessible, engaging explanations and
hands-on learning. This fascinating book harnesses children's
innate curiosity to explore some of Leonardo's favorite subjects,
including flight, motion, technology design, perspective, and
astronomy. After each topic is explained with concepts from
physics, chemistry, math, and engineering, kids can experience the
principles first-hand with step-by-step STEAM projects. They will
explore: The physics of flight by observing birds and experimenting
with paper airplane designs The science of motion by building a
windup dragonfly Gravitational acceleration with water balloons The
movement of electrons by making cereal "dance" Technology design by
making paper and fabric using recycled material Scientific
perspective by drawing a 3D illusion Insight from other great
thinkers-such as Galileo Galilei, James Clerk Maxwell, and Sir
Isaac Newton-are woven into the lessons throughout. Introduce vital
STEAM skills through visually rich, hands-on learning with
Leonardo's Science Workshop.
