This STEM Kit includes the following curricular areas: mechanics and physics. View its contents below and book it for your class.
There are two bundles of this kit available for booking.
Learn how Gears can easily reduce or increase speed, change force or transfer motion from one position to another. Discover how Worm drives are used to greatly reduce rotational speed and how screws can convert rotational motion to linear, while greatly increasing force. Build 12 working models such as an experimental crane, a gearbox, a carousel, a helicopter, a screw press and a crane with a rotating arm.
Learn how pulley drives can be used to transfer force with reduced friction and how they can increase force or speed at amazing levels. Pulleys have been used for thousands of years and are essential parts of complex machines in modern times, solving many technological problems. Build 8 working models such as a material lift, a stationary bike, a crane bridge, a blender, a construction crane and a windmill.
This set is a combination of the basic 5 sets of “Discovering STEM” series and covers all Simple Machines mechanisms. These mechanisms offer a mechanical advantage and are crucial elements of many machines and devices. They are designed to multiply or reduce force, increase or decrease speed and convert one type of motion to another. Build 60 working models that cover the subjects of levers, the wedge, the wheel and axle, the screw, the inclined plane, the pulley, as well as the more advanced gears and linkages!
With this set create amazing vehicles like speedy Formulas and Racers. The set also includes a variety of awesome model animals to build such as a Crocodile, a Dinosaur, a Dog, a Kangaroo, a Duck, and even a mythical Dragon!
Whybrics is an educational construction set making exploring physical science and engineering phenomena engaging and hands-on.
