• 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).
• Explore the mechanics of wheels and axles with this comprehensive set designed for classroom use.
• Featuring pre-punched boxes with 5mm holes, this wheels and axles set enables easy attachment of axles, facilitating hands-on learning.
• This set comprising 200 x 54mm wooden wheels, 20 x 600mm lengths of 5mm dowel, and 30 focused task boxes, provides a hands-on approach to exploring mechanical concepts. It is designed to encourage children to actively engage with the principles of wheels and axles, fostering an interactive learning environment.
• Conforming to the Design and Technology curriculum, it aids in teaching mechanisms such as wheels and axles at KS1, progressing to more complex mechanical systems at KS2. This set supports educators in delivering engaging, educational science and D&T activities that underline key STEM principles.
Made from quality materials, the set is an essential tool for classroom settings, enabling educators to provide a structured approach to learning technical knowledge through STEM activities.
