Thames & Kosmos Simple Machines Stem Experiment Kit

Discover the Power of Simple Machines Thames & Kosmos Simple Machines STEM Experiment Kit

Dive into the world of mechanical physics with the Thames and Kosmos Simple Machines STEM Experiment Kit. Unveil the mysteries behind the fundamental principles of simple machines that have shaped the course of human innovation. This kit introduces you to the mechanics of six classic simple machines wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws and wedges, along with the concept of gears. With 26 model-building exercises, you'll learn how these basic components combine to create complex tasks and make everyday activities easier.

Start your journey with straightforward models that help you grasp the foundational principles underlying each simple machine. Then, progress to more intricate and advanced models, exploring how these machines can work together to achieve various tasks. The kit includes a specialized spring scale that allows you to measure the impact of these machines on forces, revealing how they alter direction and magnitude to simplify tasks.

With a modular construction system, you can assemble and disassemble the models repeatedly, fostering hands-on experience and creativity. Witness how basic elements unite to form various machines, and even design your own configurations. The 32-page full-color manual not only guides you through model-building but also provides real-life examples of simple machines in action, from playground seesaws to everyday flagpoles.

Embrace the world of mechanics, build your understanding of physics, and uncover the role of simple machines in shaping the world around us with the Thames and Kosmos Simple Machines STEM Experiment Kit.
