|aWith its varied and engaging activities, 'Hands-on engineering' prompts students to understand and apply the methodologies of design and engineering as they create innovative solutions to challenges. Each challenge requires students to think analytically, assess new situations, and solve a hands-on, real-world problem. As students design their own boats, skyscrapers, wheelbarrows, hammocks, and more, they will need perseverance, imagination, and teamwork. This book's emphasis on practical skills, problem solving, and collaboration makes it an ideal tool with which to teach valuable 21st-century skills.--Pg.[4] of cover.

Andrews, who works with gifted learners in first through seventh grades, presents 26 projects that expose students to design methodologies through hands-on experiences and teach them problem solving, analytical thinking, teamwork, creativity, and innovation, as well as scientific principles and math concepts. The projects align with standards for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and provide the opportunity to design an object or structure. They progress from easier to difficult challenges, use everyday materials, and include step-by-step instructions, subject and skill lists, vocabulary, objectives, purposes, preparation, links to websites, worksheets, and extensions. There is no index. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
