Simple Machines science kit is your introduction to the study of mechanical physics by learning all about simple machines and how they're used to make complex tasks easier to do.Through 26 model-building exercises you will investigate all six classic simple machines - wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges - as well as gears.Start off with simple models to guarantee a firm understanding of the basic principles at play, and then move onto larger, more complex models to push the machines harder and see how they can work together. Also included is a specially designed spring scale so that you can measure how the machines change the direction and magnitude of forces, making work easier to do. With this durable, modular construction system, you can see how the same basic elements combine in different ways to form each machine
Product Specifications
- Through 26 model-building exercise, gain hands-on experience with gears and all six classic simple machines: wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined Planes, screws, and wedges.
- Durable, modular construction system is compatible with building pieces in other construction, physics, and engineering kits from Thames & Kosmos.
- Learn how simple machines are all around us (the flagpole at school, the wheelbarrow in your backyard, The seesaw at the playground!) and how they're used to make complex tasks easier to do.
- Includes a specially designed spring scale so that you can measure how the machines change the direction and magnitude of forces.
