There was a grumble. Then a rumble. A loud squeak and a BEEP… BEEP… BEEP… BEEP. Building the city was tough work. Fab Dump Truck and the other big machines had a lot to do. Fab loved getting up each day and going to work at the construction site. He and his team had important jobs to do to help the city grow. Thrill, she drilled. She made deep holes in the ground with her curling corkscrew arm. The holes made foundations that helped the buildings stand tall and strong. Thrill really liked that Charlie Backhoe scooped up what Thrill drilled. His scoop helped lift the dirt and swing it into new piles. He could twist and turn like a dancer. B.D.

Start at step 1 and read up to the top. 1 An excavator machine scoops out dirt and makes a big hole in the ground. 2 A truck pours wet concrete into the hole. When the concrete hardens, it becomes the bottom of the skyscraper. 3 A crane lifts big steel beams onto the cement. Construction workers use the beams and more concrete to build the frame of the skyscraper. 4 After the frame is built, workers make the stairs, elevators, and walls. 5 Then they add windows, doors, and finally, a roof. All done! Visit owlkids.com/building to see a video of a skyscraper being built.…

You’ll need: • 2 cups• Paper• Coins What to do: 1 Place the cups on a flat surface. 2 Lay the flat piece of paper across the cups to make a bridge. 3 Place the coins on the paper bridge. What happens? 4 Fold the paper back and forth accordion-style. Repeat steps 2 and 3. Does the new bridge hold the coins? How it works Folding the paper back and forth creates triangle shapes that make it stronger than when it is flat. Now it can hold the coins without fallling! FUN FACT: Many bridges are built with steel beams in triangle shapes because they can hold lots of weight. Watch Chirp science experiment videos at owlkids.com/chirpscience.…
