PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Pumps, all is well on Mammoth Island when suddenly Brenda's baking shed has caught fire! Soon, the Mammoth Island Fire Brigade arrives and attempts to put the fire out, using water-filled mammoths. However, young Olive is sure that a machine might make it easier to get water to a fire. Looking at her bicycle pump, she wonders if it might be possible to create a device for pumping water. With the help of the inventor and other islanders, Olive builds a water pump that is soon put to the test and saves the summer barbecue! Part of the multivolume The Way Things Work DVD Series, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. A teacher's guide is included and available online.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"The series is humorous, informative and very educational. Explanations are clear and relevant, with neccesary diagrams to explain exactly how things work...These are exceptional physics videos that merit a place in all educational collections."- School Library Journal (August 2003)
