Síntesis:
From Greek lighthouses and Roman bridges to Chinese kites and Mesopotamian soap, investigates some of the greatest scientific discoveries and the people who introduced them to the world. Dozens of fun-packed activities show how the earliest humans cultivated plants, why instruments make different sounds, how fireworks get their explosive power, and much more. All of the projects are safe and easy to do, and require everyday stuff from around the house.
