The Poetry of Science
Science and Children—January/February 2021 (Volume 58, Issue 3)
By Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong
Who designs a building that’s
so tall it scrapes the sky?
And the airplanes high above . . .
which seem too big to fly?
Who draws up the plans for stuff
like toasters and TVs?
How about computer chips,
bikes, and water skis?
Who creates things, big and small,
that we use every day?
The answer: engineers, of course!
This week’s for them—hooray!
