Can a pirate and a prince learn to share? In the fort in the woods,
a prince is preparing his castle for a lively feast for the royal
kingdom. Unbeknownst to him, a pirate uses the same fort as her
ship, planning to venture out to the open seas in search of
treasure. But when a treasure map appears on the prince's party
invitations, and the pirate finds that her sword has turned into a
scepter, they realize there is an intruder in the castle--no, ship!
Soon, a battle over the fort between the adversaries ensues,
leading to a humorous showdown. When they make amends, their
amazing imaginations come up with a new adventure...together. Kids
will revel in the spirited and imaginative battle and be thrilled
by the turn of events. Dynamic and charismatic illustrations bring
this witty tale and its celebration of sharing and teamwork to
life.
Cooperation can be key to survival. Working Together to Survive
covers how animals work with other animals, and even other species,
to get food, stay safe, and thrive.

An exciting book about the chain reaction world of Rube Goldberg
for middle schoolers, including 25 engineering design projects that
get middle schoolers applying the laws of physics to their own
inventions as they learn the scientific principles behind the
actions and reactions they create. Why use a simple hand motion to
wipe your mouth when you can build a machine to do it for you?
Toppling dominoes, rolling marbles, racing balloon cars, springing
catapults, and whizzing zip-lines are all elements used to build
Rube Goldberg machines in Crazy Contraptions: Build Machines that
Swoop, Spin, Stack, and Swivel with Hands-On Engineering
Activities. The book introduces kids ages 9-12 (and beyond!) to the
wacky machines designed by Goldberg, which were based on
complicated chain reactions used to accomplish very simple,
sometimes ridiculous, tasks. * Through contraptions, the book
discusses the basics of physics, including force, motion, and work.
Each chapter introduces one of the six simple machines and how they
can be used in Rube Goldberg contraptions-inclined planes, levers,
wheels and axles, wedges, screws, and pulleys. * Kids are
challenged to design, build, and evaluate dozens of increasingly
complex contraptions that do things like unscrew a lid, turn the
page of a book, and pop a balloon. * Projects use materials already
in most homes-reimagining and repurposing everyday items, as well
as mining the recycling! * Contraption hints, essential questions,
short sidebars, and links to online primary resources help readers
learn the basics of force, work, motion, and simple machines, while
exploring their creativity as they design and build their own crazy
contraptions. About the Build It Engineering set and Nomad Press
Crazy Contraptions is part of a set of two Build It Engineering
books that explore the engineering technology behind our daily
lives. The other titles in this series is Bots! Robotic Engineering
with Hands-On Makerspace Activities. Nomad Press books in the Build
It series integrate content with participation. Combining content
with inquiry-based projects stimulates learning and makes it active
and alive. Nomad's unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in
factual knowledge while allowing them the space to be curious,
creative, and critical thinkers. All books are leveled for Guided
Reading level and Lexile and align with Common Core State Standards
and Next Generation Science Standards. All titles are available in
paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.
Explores the fascinating world of islands. Readers will learn how
islands form and how they change over time, as well as the plants
and animals that make islands their home. Featuring vivid
photographs, fun facts, focus questions, and resources for further
research, this book is sure to support earth science education.
