Imagine traveling at half the speed of a jet plane without ever leaving the ground! Students will discover the technology that makes such speeds possible, from special tracks and safety precautions to aerodynamically designed trains. What are the limits to the speed of trains? What imposes those limits? Students also will read about the future of passenger train travel, from flying trains to trains that use huge magnets to levitate inches or centimeters off the track. Some trains safely reach speeds of more than 200 mph!

Book Features: • Ages 5-8, Grades K-2 • 24 pages, 8 inches x 8 inches • Simple, easy-to-read pages in Spanish with full-color pictures • Includes a glossary, index, and an engineering design activity • Supports NGSS Playful Learning: In Mi Biblioteca de Ingeniería: Diseño y Construcción para Jugar, kindergarten—second graders learn about the forces, energy, and designs that make up roller coasters, sports equipment, zip lines, and other things we love! Engineering Made Fun: Forces, energy, and motion are all a part of how we play. Young readers learn how engineers use science...

There is a contest at a school to design a new playground. The students use blocks to build their models. As they build, they use three-dimensional shapes. Some students build a train out of blocks for the younger students to play on. Can you guess which three-dimensional shape they use for the train's wheels? Read to find out which design wins.

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is an intriguing area of our solar system. Scientists have counted over 670,000 known asteroids there, but there could be millions more not yet found. Readers will discover much more about the asteroid belt in this highinterest book, which blends science and math. They'll read about several topics, such as space missions to the asteroid belt and the difference between an asteroid and a planet, and solve associated math problems-just like actual space scientists do!
