TUNNELS!: WITH 25 SCIENCE PROJECTS FOR KIDS

Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00158

English Summary/英文概要： Moles, beavers, rabbits . . . these animals burrow tunnels in the ground every day! What other kind of creature makes tunnels? Humans!

In Tunnels! With 25 Science Projects for Kids, kids ages 7 to 10 explore the fascinating world of passageways beneath the ground, dug deep within the earth through soil and rock. But why dig through rock to make a tunnel? Tunnels give people a way to travel and transport goods from one place to another. Readers learn about the engineering and construction that goes into every tunnel made, whether it’s being dug under roads, under oceans, or under cities. Kids form a foundational learning about the laws of physics that govern our world and discover how engineers use these laws to design tunnels that withstand the test of time, weight, and earthquakes. Controlling groundwater, drilling through rocks, and removing earth are just a few tasks workers must face.

STEM projects for kids, including creating a tunnel maze, designing a series of tunnels on graph paper, and experimenting with Newton’s laws of motion, offer a unique, interactive learning experience, while links to primary sources offer ample opportunity for further student-led exploration. Fun facts, engaging illustrations, timeline, glossary, and resources keep kids wanting to learn more about the engineering design process.

Tunnels! is part of a set of four Explore Engineering books. In the Explore Engineering series, readers ages 7 to 10 learn the physics behind the things they build: Why does a tower of blocks eventually fall? Why does a tunnel sometimes cave in? Through a series of focused, science-minded activities that require critical thinking paired with creative trial-and-error attempts at building, readers develop foundational understanding of the physics that guides the building and maintenance of bridges, canals, dams, tunnels, and skyscrapers. Other titles in the Explore Engineering set include Bridges!, Canals and Dams!, and Skyscrapers!

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 鼹鼠、海狸、兔子……这些动物每天都在地下挖地道!还有什么生物会挖隧道?人类!< P > 在隧道!通过25个儿童科学项目，7至10岁的孩子们可以探索地下通道的迷人世界，通过土壤和岩石在地球深处挖掘。但为什么要在岩石上挖隧道呢?隧道给人们提供了一种从一个地方到另一个地方旅行和运输货物的方式。读者可以了解每一条隧道的工程和施工，无论是在公路下、海洋下还是在城市下。孩子们对支配我们世界的物理定律有了基本的了解，并发现工程师如何利用这些定律来设计经得起时间、重量和地震考验的隧道。控制地下水、钻穿岩石和挖土只是工人们必须面对的一些任务。
