• Explore and use mechanisms (for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles) in their products.
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge
• Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).
• These cams feature dual holes for versatile model construction movement.
• These wooden cam wheels with a secure, tight fit onto TTS 5mm dowels are durable and ideal for educational model making.
• Introduce a practical element to your teaching with these 2 hole wooden cam wheels designed to fit onto dowels. Specifically designed to aid the exploration of mechanical systems such as levers, sliders, wheels, and axles, they foster an engaging learning environment and encourage the development of technical skills from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2.
• Ideal for hands-on learning, these cam wheels allow children to construct and deconstruct their mechanisms, deepening their understanding of how different components work together. This hands-on approach is essential in retaining knowledge and applying it in new contexts, which is a critical aspect of the Design and Technology curriculum.
Constructed from high-quality wood, the wheels are made to fit snugly onto 5mm dowels, ensuring durability and ease of use. Each pack contains thirty wheels, ample for classroom activities or small group sessions, promoting teamwork and collaborative learning among students.
