MECHANICS: Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes

MECHANICS: Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes explores how wheels and axles use friction to move objects easily and compares the effects of large versus small tires. Learn how inclined planes, such as wedges, are used in everyday applications to lift heavy objects. Build 14 working models, including a launching platform, a door with a knob, a well, an airport staircase, an experimental ramp, and a splitting wedge. The kit includes easy-to-follow building instructions, available online or in the included booklet. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the scientific principles applied, along with innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. Additionally, a quiz section challenges your newly acquired knowledge!
