Simple Machines Science Kit

Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics by learning all about simple machines and how they're used to make complex tasks easier to do! In this kit from Thames & Kosmos, you'll try 26 model-building exercises in the 32-page, full-color manual that investigate all six classic simple machines — wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges — as well as gears. Start off with simple models to guarantee a firm understanding of the basic principles at play, and then move onto larger, more complex models to push the machines harder and see how they can work together.

Also included is a specially designed spring scale so that you can measure how the machines change the direction and magnitude of forces, making work easier to do. With this durable, modular construction system, the models can be assembled and disassembled again and again; combine the pieces to create your own configurations, limited only by your imagination!!
