Your young learner is about to embark on a fluid adventure. During the journey, students will build a rocket launcher, catapult, car, drawbridge, and much more. Each page of instruction will show readers how to channel the power of air or water to make their creations move. Along the way, learners will test the limits of their imagination and scientific know-how. They will experiment, design, build and invent. The builders should not aim objects at the eyes or faces of others. ~Amber
