• 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).
• A pack of 100 wooden wheels with a 6mm hole, perfect for educational construction projects.
• Designed for a snug fit on TTS 5mm dowels, facilitating smooth motion and effective mechanical function in child projects.
• These robust wooden wheels deliver a hands-on approach to mechanical concepts, effectively supporting learning outcomes at Key Stage 1 and 2. Through direct interaction, children grasp the functionality of mechanisms such as levers, sliders, and axles in an engaging way.
• During Key Stage 1, these elements facilitate the understanding of basic mechanical structures through direct application. As pupils progress to Key Stage 2, they explore more complex systems including gears, pulleys, and linkages. These tangible learning experiences are essential for reinforcing theoretical knowledge in a tangible format.
Constructed to ensure durability, these wheels stand up to repetitive educational use, allowing for continued application in a variety of learning scenarios, thus promoting creativity and problem-solving skills in building and understanding mechanical systems.
