How can a bridge hold heavy traffic? Why do tall buildings stay standing? What makes a triangle so strong?
A child looks at a bridge and sees a question you might never have thought to ask. How does it stay up? Why is it that shape? Could we build one? You want to encourage that way of thinking, but explaining engineering on the way to school can be a challenge.
You don’t need to know every answer to help your child discover something wonderful.
Join Ayden and Aysha as they discover the thinking behind bridges, buildings and other structures, exploring how shapes, materials and forces work together. With 60 illustrated lessons, each beginning with a question, Engineering and Structures gives curious children aged 6 to 11 clear explanations and surprising Fun Facts about bridges, foundations, strength, cranes and structural design, and gives parents somewhere to begin.
Read one question together. Follow the conversation wherever it leads. Younger children can enjoy listening and asking more questions; confident readers can explore for themselves.
With a lesson index and four vocabulary pages, it’s easy to return to a favourite discovery or find the words for a new one.
Book 21 of 25 in the Ayden and Aysha Discover the World collection, created by Monalisa.
Give their questions a strong foundation, and see the familiar world through fresh eyes.
