Rubber Band Engineer: All-Ballistic Pocket Edition
Using rubber bands, tape, string, clothes pins, and a variety of other items, you can be a “Rubber Band Engineer." If you're looking for a project for science fair, for fun, or for parent/child quality time, this book offers some great ideas. Pull out your supplies and build handheld shooters and mini siege engines using a variety of projects. A pictorial and print materials list is found at the beginning of each project. Then pictures and instruction are given step-by-step. Older students could do some of the projects on their own, but it's always fun to do a project with mom and/or dad. Make a crossbow, rubber band rocket, catapults and more with the thorough instructions found in this book.
In its new pocket-size format with a rubber-band closure, Rubber Band Engineer: All-Ballistic Pocket Edition is a fun-filled book of backyard projects that's perfect for gifting.
Shooting far, flying high, and delivering way more exciting results than expected are the goals of the gadgets in Rubber Band Engineer: All-Ballistic Pocket Edition. Discover unexpected ways to turn common materials into crafty contraptions that range from surprisingly simple to curiously complex.
Through vivid color photos, you'll be guided to create slingshot rockets, unique catapults, improvised darts, and a clever crossbow. Whether you build one or all 10 of these designs, you'll feel like an ingenious engineer when you're through. Best of all, you don't need to be an experienced tinkerer to make any of the projects! All you need are household tools and materials, such as paper clips, pencils, paint stirrers, and ice pop sticks.
Oh, and rubber bands. Lots of rubber bands.
Grab your glue gun, pull out your pliers, track down your tape, and get started on the challenging, fun, and rewarding journey toward becoming a rubber band engineer.
