Engino Discovering Stem Mechanics - Wheels Axles & Inclined Planes

Description

Learn how wheels and axles use friction to move things easily and how large tires compare to small tires. - Discover how an inclined plane can be used to lift heavy objects and how another form of inclined plane, the wedge, is used in everyday applications. - Build 14 working models such as a launching pad, a door with a handle, a well, an airport staircase, a pilot ramp, and a split wedge. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models in the included booklet. - The booklet provides detailed explanations of the various scientific principles applied and includes innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. There is also a quiz section available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! - Follow the instructions to build this model of a field tractor and learn how to produce different wheel sizes for different results. - Learn how axle size also affects the mechanical advantage of the machine. - Build this model and discover the ways in which the axle and wheel are connected for different purposes. - Learn how levers can be used to create a steering wheel, even though this particular wheel is turning in the wrong direction! - Build a model of an airport staircase on wheels and find out why it's easier to climb a slanted ladder than to move straight up. - Suitable for ages 8+ years and above.
