For teachers who build

17 classroom devices, step by step

Why build your own demonstration equipment when supply catalogs are full of it? Cost, quality, size and availability are part of the answer. The bigger reason is what happens when you build it: you understand the idea better, and you can adjust it to fit your students.

Written at the request of teachers at Bruce's workshops, the book gives clear construction directions and teaching suggestions for 17 pieces of equipment he used in his own classroom, each with a materials list and ideas for presenting it to students.
