Introduction -- Earthquake-proof engineering for skyscrapers -- How tall can you build a tower before it topples? -- Just keep spinning-find the best pinwheel design! -- Build a cardboard scissor lift -- Build a mini trebuchet -- Popsicle stick trusses: what shape is strongest? -- Paper bridges -- Superstrong science: explore nanotechnology using paper -- Sphere-based science: build your own geodesic dome -- Suspension science: how do bridge designs compare? -- The scientific method. Building a geodesic dome or suspension bridge model has never been more fun! In this book presented by Scientific American, budding engineers are challenged to take on achievable, engrossing projects involving classic engineering principles. Earthquake technology, energy, mechanics, gravity, and other scientific concepts are also included and thoroughly explained in the background section preceding each project. Expansion suggestions appear at the end of some projects in the book, making them perfect for science fairs and school projects. A concluding section outlining the scientific method connects this STEM volume to science curricula even more. 5 Scientific American Educational Publishing. 4-6 Scientific American Educational Publishing. 20230728.
