Features: This book will detail how to make windmills, waterwheels, sand cars, and many other rotating models yourself, some of which will use pulleys. You can also connect two models with thread to create more complex models, such as wind-powered merry-go-rounds or water-powered ferries. "Science DIY Series" teaches children to apply simple principles of mechanical technology to create various fun and unique models. Children not only enjoy making and playing with these models but can also use their creativity to design new models, becoming little inventors. In Windmills and Waterwheels, the book starts with simple projects like wind vanes, paper windmills, and sand wheels, then gradually moves on to more complex projects, teaching the methods for making wind-powered merry-go-rounds, water-powered Ferris wheels, and sand-powered sawmills. Children can even assemble a spectacular air force!
