Students can construct, examine and explain simple machines to develop a deeper understanding of how they can make work easier.
The Simple Machines Set is a perfect way to create a relationship between people and their use of machinery to make construction and engineering far simpler. This set contains enough pieces to build a lever, pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, and wedge all at the same time, enabling for creative construction in groups.
For further, more varied exploration, you can modify the machines with 4 included weights (two 5g and two 10g) and 8 rubber bands to explore effort, force, load, motion and distance.
