Simple machines are mechanical devices that use levers, wheels, axles, pulleys, etc. to convert force into motion and to perform work.
Flywheel Powered zeCars are perfect examples of the wheel and axle in action.
Dancing Robots and Sliders include levers and rotating cams, and show the change from elastic potential into kinetic energy.
Pull-Back Cars teach how torque, speed, and friction can influence the distance an object travels. With the
Puzzle Clock, students construct an actual working clock, using color-coded gears and a pendulum! Can be disassembled and rebuilt over and over. Build a model of a manufacturing plant with working tanks, pipes, valves and pump with the
Hydrodynamic Deluxe Set.
