This kit is a proven learning experience, not only for the end users, but for the vocational education students who costed and designed the pieces. -- The kit includes everything necessary to make one each of the following simple machines: a variable lever, a wheel and axle, an inclined plane, a pulley and a wedge. -- The kit includes a student worksheet with diagrams and exercises to accompany the hands-on building activities. There's also a 38 minute video, featuring teacher developer Claire Zurbach who explains every step of how to construct and use the machines, and how to calculate the mechanical advantage of each machine. |
