• Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 1, Technical Knowledge
• 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).
• Single pulley, 50mm in diameter, designed to enhance mechanical learning.
• This pulley is a useful resource for any Makerspace, supporting STEM constructions and physics experiments effectively.
• Supports essential learning, helping children comprehend how mechanisms like levers, pulleys, and gears can increase mechanical efficiency. They provide a practical demonstration of theoretical concepts, making them perfect for educational settings.
• Serves as a hands-on resource to explore and understand technical knowledge, particularly mechanical systems. The integration of pulleys in curriculum-based projects facilitates a deeper understanding and engagement among children, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios.
Beyond immediate educational benefits, pulleys also aid in developing problem-solving skills and encourage innovation. Their durable construction ensures they can be utilised repeatedly, providing long-term value in teaching various aspects of physics and engineering principles.
• Supplied in a single option
• Made from plastic
• Mounted in metal frame
• Great for STEM and experiments focusing on levers and pulleys
