• Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).
• Science, Year 5, Forces
• Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
• A versatile pack of plastic pulleys and steel axles, perfect for D&T classroom demonstrations.
• Features pulleys with 2mm and 4mm centre holes, fitting onto included steel axles, perfect for educational activities.
• This comprehensive set of pulleys is designed to effectively support the teaching of mechanical systems and principles. Students can experiment with different pulley sizes to understand how variations in size affect the mechanics of lifting loads.
• In a Key Stage 2 setting, investigate how pulleys integrate into broader mechanical systems, emphasising hands-on learning to build understanding of their impact on force application. This set aligns with the curriculum, targeting the students' ability to apply their knowledge in designing and using mechanical systems.
Teachers can elaborate on the functionality of pulleys in Year 5 curriculums, which study forces extensively. Demonstrations using this set will exemplify how mechanisms such as pulleys enhance the ability to manage forces effectively, fostering a deeper comprehension of scientific principles.
• Class set of 110 pieces for use in demonstrating how pulleys work
• Size of pulleys vary from 10 to 50mm
• Pulleys will fit onto the included steel axles
