Synopsis
This fun and educational series brings a fresh new approach to the many aspects of invention. It traces the history of over 120 great inventions and inventors, from prehistoric times into the 21st century and beyond. looks at a problem in a lively cartoon story...thinks of a possible solution - maybe something a little crazy but often holding the germ of a good idea...comes up with way of solving the problem - and eureka!...sets to with ideas for a make-and-do model...and finally, tests it out. And while these ideas are building, there's all the science behind each invention to find out about too! What inspired the Romans to build straight roads? Why did Archimedes want to make a giant screw? More tricky problems lead to another 10 brilliant inventions in this title of the Crafty Inventions series. Discover how wind was used to power machines and how printing sped up book-making. Then string up a superpulley, build a wind turbine and carve a set of vegetable printing blocks
