Think a cog is just a circle with spikes? Think again! Cogs have been used to map the stars, travel along the Great Wall, and even race in the Tour de France.
This Mighty Models title highlights ten important key moments in which the cog leveled up in history-from being a wheel to a telescope in space. Readers can build their own working pendulum clock, using the build-it-yourself model included in the book, to see the power of the cog in action!
Christine Van Zandt's nonfiction STEM series for readers 4 to 8 and up perfectly captures the marvels of early machinery and how it plays into today's technology.
Christine Van Zandt is a freelance editor, writer, and award-winning author of five nonfiction picture books. You can also find her stories and poems in anthologies and magazines. She lives in Los Angeles with her family. You can visit her website at https://christinevanzandt.com/.
