The 21st Century Junior Library Extraordinary Engineering series explains how important feats of engineering are accomplished. Bridges examines the engineering concepts that make these critical structures possible. Sidebars encourage readers to engage in the material by asking deeper questions or conducting individual research. An activity, full color photos, a glossary, and a listing of additional resources all enhance the learning experience. Index; Sources for further research; Glossary of key words.

"Explores the engineering challenges behind building bridges, as well as the creative solutions found to overcome those challenges"--Provided by publisher.

Kids will learn about different types of bridges with Engineer It! Bridge Projects. They will discover how bridges are built. Then, build their own suspension bridge, truss bridge, and more. Each project has color photos and easy-to-follow instructions. Young crafters will be budding engineers in no time!.

A fantastic introduction to a world many young people—and people in general—seldom consider: how transportation engineers help to ensure people and materials move smoothly throughout our complex world. Readers are introduced to real-world problems and their engineering solutions. Lively, informative, and age-accessible language is augmented with highlighted vocabulary terms, important points to think about, items to compare and contrast, and a final, interactive exercise that brings home important concepts to the reader. This book is great for students with an interest in how trains, bikes, roads, and even natural resource pipelines work.

"When there is a traffic jam on the Tinyville Town bridge, the residents decide to work together to build a new one"--Provided by publisher.

"Created to support NGSS, the Be An Engineer! series explains how different structures are designed by engineers to solve problems. Each title takes readers through the steps of the engineering design process to explain how an everyday structure is designed to overcome physical obstacles to meet peoples' needs. Real-world examples, vibrant photographs, and fact boxes reinforce learning, and readers design and create their own model structures. A link printed inside each book gives readers access to Crabtree Plus, a secure website with supplemental digital content, including engaging simulations and interactive activities that reinforce and extend key series' concepts."--.
