Perfect for you if...

You've got kids aged 8-12 who ask 'how does that work?' and you want to feed their curiosity with projects they can actually complete.
You're a parent or teacher looking for structured STEAM activities that don't require specialist equipment or a chemistry degree.
You want your kids to understand engineering isn't just about maths on a page. It's about building things and seeing what happens.

Maybe not for you if...

You're after a book that teaches pure theory. These experiments are hands-on and messy by design.
Your kids are much younger than 8 or significantly older than 12. The complexity and instruction style are pitched specifically at this middle-grade age group.
You prefer activities that need minimal adult supervision. Most of these experiments benefit from a parent or teacher working alongside the child.

About this book

Real Engineering Experiments presents over 25 STEAM activities designed for children ages eight to twelve. The book covers four main areas: electricity, structures, mechanics, and materials, exploring how engineering connects with science, technology, art, and math. Each experiment includes step-by-step instructions and full-color illustrations to help answer practical questions about engineering concepts like magnetism and catapults. The book explains what engineers do, describes different types of engineers, and shows how they solve problems. Projects include building a robot, making a battery, cleaning polluted water, and creating a wind-powered car using common household items. For each experiment, the book provides explanations of how and why it works, along with suggestions for extending the activities further.
