Build Your Own Rockets and Planes

Written by Rob Ives

This is a nice book for budding engineers. There are step-by-step instructions to make eight different projects. First, there is information about safety, and some of the projects in the book require adult assistance. Next, there is information about aircraft. A list of tools is provided so that you can gather the items needed before you start a project. I like the layout of the book. The pictures are helpful to understand the written instructions. Information is provided on “real-world engineering” and “how it works” to explain the science involved.
