More tinkering: how kids in the tropics learn by making stuff

Tinkering is a way of learning through hands-on activity - experimenting with materials and devices to see how they work, taking things apart, making small changes and improvements, exploring and inventing.

Tinkering may seem like a form of play but it is also a powerful way of discovering truths about science, engineering, and math.

With this book, Curt Gabrielson features more than three dozen fun and educational tinkering projects based on his years of working with kids in the tropical island nation of Timor-Leste.

Step-by-step instructions accompanied by full-colour photos take you through a range of enjoyable projects that explore life sciences, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and mathematics.
