Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kids will learn how things they encounter every day operate by building their own models with this hands-on activity book. Projects include building a working model of the human hand's muscles, bones, and tendons using drinking straws, tape, and string; using a pair of two-liter bottles and a length of rubber tubing to learn how a toilet flushes; and discovering how musical instruments make sounds by fashioning a harmonica, saxophone, drum, flute, or oboe.

Kids are encouraged to modify and improve the designs, or create an entirely new device using the concepts explored. Each project includes materials and tools lists, step-by-step instructions with photographs, a summary of the science concept demonstrated, and follow-up questions to gauge student understanding for use in the classroom.

Download or read book Defending Your Castle written by and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man’s home is his castle, or so the saying goes, but could it withstand an attack by Attila and the Huns, Ragnar and the Vikings, Alexander and the Greeks, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, or Tamerlane and the Tartars? Backyard Ballistics author William Gurstelle poses this fascinating question to modern-day garage warriors and shows them how to build an arsenal of ancient artillery and fortifications aimed at withstanding these invading hordes. Each chapter introduces a new bad actor in the history of warfare, details his conquests, and features weapons and fortifications to defend against him and his minions. Clear step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and photographs show how to build a dozen projects, including “Da Vinci’s Catapult,” “Carpini’s Crossbow,” a “Crusader-Proof Moat,” “Alexander’s Tortoise,” and the “Cheval-de-frise.” With a strong emphasis on safety, the book also gives tips on troubleshooting, explains the physics behind many of the projects, and shows where to buy the materials. By the time they’ve reached the last page, at-home defenders everywhere will have succeeded in creating a fully fortified home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Selection of the Scientific American Book Club Want to add more excitement to your life? This daring combination of science, history, and DIY projects will show you how. Written for smart risk takers, it explores why danger is good for you and details the art of living dangerously. Risk takers are more successful, more interesting individuals who lead more fulfilling lives. Unlike watching an action movie or playing a video game, real-life experience changes a person, and Gurstelle will help you discover the true thrill of making black powder along with dozens of other edgy activities. All of the projects—from throwing knives, drinking absinthe, and eating fugu to cracking a bull whip, learning bartitsu, and building a flamethrower—have short learning curves, are hands-on and affordable, and demonstrate true but reasonable risk. With a strong emphasis on safety, each potentially life-altering project includes step-by-step directions, photographs, and illustrations along with troubleshooting tips from experts in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treehouse is a wonderful idea, but how in the name of creation do you actually build one? In this delightfully illustrated handbook, David Stiles, the unofficial world grandmaster of the treehouse, shows how. Not assuming anything about the treehouse builder, Stiles starts with the basics: how to nail, how to buy wood, what kind of screws and nails to use. Then it's on to an A-frame design so simple that it can be built in a weekend out of four sheets of plywood, followed by lean-tos, a tree hut, and a Tarzan-style jungle hideaway. There are also forts of every description, including a 21-foot-tall lookout tower modeled on one George Washington built to keep an eye on the redcoats. Stiles also adds a design for a snowball catapult, an igloo and even a Nerf-loaded cannon. Written for children, with an adult peeking over their shoulder, Stiles's TREEHOUSES, HUTS, & FORTS is a dreamer's handbook, offering practical results.

Book excerpt: Are you a bushcraft fanatic, planning to travel into the wild anytime soon? Or are you looking for a simplified guide to know virtually all there is to survive in the woods? If so, then read on… Bushcraft involves the use of specialized skills and knowledge to survive in an outdoor situation, especially in the wild. Without adequate bushcraft knowledge and survival know-how, your journey into the woods would be less than fun, i.e., you become exposed to severe and life-threatening situations that you may not survive from. Thus, you must equip yourself with the requisite skills and knowledge to thrive in the wild, such as developing a tough survivalist mindset, foraging for food and searching for water, building a shelter, making a fire, signaling for help, and a whole lot of other survival life-hacks. And this is why this book, Bushcraft Survival Guide, was written to help you uncover all you need to know about bushcraft and its survival mechanism for thriving in the wild, irrespective of the nature of the circumstances you encounter. Below is a snippet of what you will learn in this guide: • Meaning: You will get to understand what bushcraft actually entails and why it should not be confused with camping. • Practicing bushcraft and survival mindset: You will discover how to find the best places to practice bushcraft, including how to build a tough survival mindset if you want to make it out of the woods alive. • Bushcraft tools and equipment: You will be educated on the essential tools and equipment needed to survive in the woods, which cuts across shelter and sleeping kit, carrying kit, cooking and water, personal hygiene, and clothing. • Surviving in the bush: Everything you need to know to thrive in the woods is discussed here. For example, you will learn how to build several types of shelters for warmth, navigating in the bush using a compass, sun, and other methods, finding, cooking, and preserving food, as well as how to make a fire, among others. • Wilderness survival mistakes: The common wilderness survival mistakes to avoid before you journey into the bush are discussed in this section. And a whole lot more! Do all these sound interesting to you? Yes? Then stop overthinking this and listen to that part of you urging you to get a hold of this guide instead of the apprehensions of the what-ifs and should-I's holding you back. To begin your journey on navigating and surviving the wild, simply get a hold of this bushcraft survival guide RIGHT NOW

Download or read book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction: Build Implements of Spitball Warfare written by John Austin and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’ve come a long way from the Peashooter Era: with the advent of modern household products and office supplies—binder clips, clothespins, rubber bands, ballpoint pens, toothpicks, paper clips, plastic utensils, and (of course) matches and barbeque lighters—troublemakers of all stripes have the components needed to build an impressive, if somewhat miniaturized, arsenal. Toy designer John Austin provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for each project, including materials and ammo lists, clear diagrams, and construction tips, for mayhem-loving MacGyvers. The 35 devices include catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and combustion shooters. Build a tiny trebuchet from paper clips and a D-cell battery. Wrap a penny in a string of paper caps to create a surprisingly impressive “bomb.” Several of the projects even include variations where combatants mount laser pointer sights to their shooters to increase their accuracy. Finally, once you’ve built your armory, the author provides plans for a Top Secret Concealing Book to hide your stash, as well as targets for shooting practice. Never let your personal space go undefended again!
