BRIDGES!: WITH 25 SCIENCE PROJECTS FOR KIDS

Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00159

English Summary/英文概要： Getting from one place to another sounds easy if you are on a straight piece of land, but what if you have to get over—or under—a body of water or a deep gorge? Build a bridge! Bridges are the great connectors. They allow us to travel the twists and turns, highs and lows, ins and out of every geographic feature in our world. Bridges! With 25 Science Projects for Kids introduces readers ages 7 to 10 to the concepts and vocabulary of bridge construction through the lenses of history, science, engineering, math, and technology.

From the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the Tower Bridge in London, bridges are a huge part of our life. But how are these amazing structures built? What forces keep it standing? What might cause it to fall down? And who decides which type of bridge to use? In Bridges!, readers discover how these extraordinary feats of engineering are created, and apply what they have learned to hands-on, critical-thinking activities that include building different types of bridges, such as truss, cantilever, and suspension bridges, out of different materials and modeling different types of supports. They examine the natural forces that affect structure selection and appearance, and also learn about the types of support required for each. Trivia, cartoon illustrations, links to online videos and other sources, and clear diagrams round out this book and make it fun and interesting for class discussions.

Following the guidelines set forth in the NGSS/NSTA engineering and design standards, teachers can feel comfortable using this book as a guide for targeted learning in their classrooms.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果你在一块笔直的陆地上，从一个地方到另一个地方听起来很容易，但是如果你必须从一个水体或一个深峡谷的上方或下方经过呢?建一座桥!桥梁是伟大的连接器。它们让我们能够穿越世界上每一个地理特征的曲折、高低、进出。桥梁!《25个儿童科学项目》通过历史、科学、工程、数学和技术的视角向7至10岁的读者介绍桥梁建设的概念和词汇。

从旧金山的金门大桥到伦敦的塔桥，桥梁是我们生活的重要组成部分。但这些令人惊叹的建筑是如何建造的呢?是什么力量使它站立?什么可能导致它倒下?谁来决定
