Features: This book will teach you in detail how to make models of cars, trucks, tractors, and other vehicles. It starts with the simple manual free-rotating wheel, and then uses these basic functions as a foundation to create more complex models, such as fire engines, tractors, and tricycles. Making these models requires rubber bands or spring rings for power and takes a considerable amount of time, so don't rush to complete all the models at once. "Science DIY Series" teaches children to use simple principles of mechanical power to create various fun and unique models. Not only can children have fun making and playing with these models, but they can also use their creativity to design new models and become little inventors. In Racing Cars and Wheeled Vehicles, children will first learn to make free-rotating wheels and driving wheels, and then use these two types of wheels to teach them how to make tricycles, fire engines, tractors, and various racing cars. Children can even assemble a spectacular air force!
