Each hands-on project in this book will challenge you to come up with a unique solution to a specific design problem. Construct a Pasta Bridge strong enough to support a heavy load, using only dry linguini and glue. Build a Marble Roller Coaster from recycled cardboard tubes, in which the marble car jumps a track to land safely at its final destination. Or design an Egg Catch device to safely capture a free-falling egg. Test yourself or use them for friendly competitions-who can come up with the best solution?These 25 open-ended design challenges can be performed for just pennies . . . or less. Each project has a suggested materials list, step-by-step instructions with illustrations for one possible solution, and suggestions on how to adapt each challenge for different ages and skill levels. Educators and parents will find this title a handy resource to teach children problem-solving skills and applied physics, all while having a lot of fun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226633236768,"sku":"NEW1613737165","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61XvAhgFGXL.jpg?v=1787319206","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/junk-drawer-engineering-25-construction-challenges-that-dont-cost-a-thing-3-junk-drawer-science-1613737165","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
