• 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 STEM building kit with 143 parts for constructing models like crank fans, egg beaters, and car windows.
• Explore the endless possibilities of construction with this set that allows mixing and matching of parts to create various structures.
• This STEM building set is equipped with a range of components and educational materials, designed to facilitate an engaging hands-on experience for students. By constructing and exploring different gear setups and mechanical principles, students gain practical understanding of scientific concepts.
• Included are three downloadable activity sheets which enrich the learning experience. These resources help children carry out experiments that explore concepts like gear configurations, gear ratios, and mechanical advantage. This practical approach makes complex ideas accessible and enjoyable.
The set also includes a detailed, illustrated manual that offers additional construction ideas and tips. This support helps teachers guide their students through initial setup and promotes independent learning as children become more familiar with the materials.
