Reviews
Gr 4-6--Twelve practical projects, each presented on a double-page spread, illustrate the uses of water. An inflatable boat, a shaduf (an Egyptian water lifter), a waterclock, and a ferryboat are among the models included. All are made from commonly found materials such as balloons, two-liter bottles, tape, wood, and plasticine. Because small pieces need to be cut out, hammered, and nailed, and accurate measures are required, these projects are best suited to intermediate-grade children. All of the items are working models that apply simple, mechanical principles, such as the lever, although they are not stated in the text. The full-color photos enhance the step-by-step instructions. Additional photos of the actual objects and their locales are included. Some of the projects are also suitable for use in dioramas. The book presents material not readily found in any other single source. The short list for further reading is current and calculated to broaden readers' understanding of water, boats, and hydro projects. Additional notes are appended.
