Each book in this series provides all the necessary ingredients to start children designing and making their own exciting technology projects, based on simple recipes that use readily available, low-cost materials. The projects give hands-on experience of technology in everyday life and are constructed in a way that makes finding out about technology fun. Super Structures shows how to make and test a range of strong shapes, from triangles and trusses to bridges and domes. There are ideas for making collapsible structures, protective packaging and pop-ups.
Throughout the book, cross references connect concepts and point you to additional relevant tables, figures, equations, and codes. More than 95 example problems demonstrate the application of concepts and equations.
