 For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Belts & Gears, inhabitants of Mammoth Island are getting ready for their annual fair and are determined to make this year's event better than ever. Olive, a young islander, enlists the help of a visiting inventor to design exciting new rides, and together they decide that using belts and gears will help make the fair a success. While belts and gears don't increase the amount of force applied, they can transfer the force to change direction or speed. And this results in some terrific new rides! Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. Includes a Teacher's Guide. |
"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)
