Recommends projects for elementary school students based on milestones in aviation history, from kites to the first rockets
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
All these exciting aircraft and spacecraft projects come with simple, easy-to-understand directions and require inexpensive, safe materials. Boys and girls alike will enjoy building such groundbreaking flying machines as a kite (the first craft known to put a man aloft in 500 B. C. ), the Montgolfier hot-air balloon (1793), Otto Lilienthal's hang glider (1896), female aviation pioneer Harriet Quimby's Bleriot (1911), Robert Goddard's rockets (1929), and Chuck Yeager's sound barrier-busting X-1 (1947). By the time they reach the end of this innovative compendium of flight projects, kids (grades 3-6) will be launching their own rockets, absorbed a wealth of science, and may well be interested in applying themselves to their school studies with an intention of becoming a scientist, aviator and/or inventor! Let's Build Airplanes & Rockets! is a superlative activity book that is as much fun and it is informative! -- Midwest Book Review
