Captivated by the beautiful yellow dandelions near their crash site, Bells and Mitch investigate the dandelions' life cycle. Observing how the flowers disperse their seeds, they construct a mechanical replica to launch their ship back into space. Showing how nature itself can instruct us in engineering, Hunt and Pantoya take young readers on a journey of discovery and problem solving. The authors worked with early childhood literacy experts and science museums in developing this story that teaches the relationship between science and engineering, explains the design process, and introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts and vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51445079539935,"sku":"9780896728493","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/b74o2Kkq8R9780896728493.webp?v=1790211205"},{"product_id":"engineering-elephants-paperback","title":"Engineering Elephants - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs engineering professors, we have both been teaching at the university level and conducting research in nanotechnology and engineering education for several years. After having our families, we have discovered that there is a lack of children's books on engineering geared toward young children ages 4-8. Engineering education is a growing issue in our nation, and all research points towards engaging children in engineering concepts when they are at these young, impressionable ages. We have developed this children's book on engineering targeted for ages 4-8 based on experiences that we have had in engineering education and research. Our goal with this book is to show children some exciting things that engineers design and engage them through humor and their own creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51451990769887,"sku":"9781449058166","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/ufIYWxVEp-9781449058166.webp?v=1790279571"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/emily-m-hunt.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
