David Macaulay, author of the bestselling The New Way Things Work, has invented an original way to learn the FUNdamentals of physics! Macaulay's unique approach to teaching invites students to share in the author's own exuberance and curiosity about the world and how it works. Students will learn about various scientific principles as they go through the Inventor's Log—a fascinating view of the wonders of the world as explained by science. They then apply their knowledge to become mechanical engineers and design and build their own pinball games.

As the bumpers and obstacles of the game come together, their knowledge of science increases.
