Description

Engino Discovering STEM Mechanics Levers & Linkages set can be used to learn how levers are used to increase force for lifting heavy objects and how the use of levers can change the direction of motion. Find out how by connecting many levers together you can create models with complex motion and learn how these linkages can be applied on various machines. Examples of the 6 models to make and learning opportunities include: 1) Wheelbarrow – play and learn how a wheelbarrow is used to carry loads using the elements of levers: fulcrum, effort and load, discovering the properties of second-class levers. 2) make a lever crane and learn how it is used for lifting heavy objects without falling over. Compare your model with a real one and learn about first class levers. 3) Folding Platform – learn how several levers connected together form a linkage, allowing you to raise the platform very high. Experiment and discover how this model has a mechanical advantage. 4) Parallel Scale -introduces you to the concept of linkages and help you to understand how they work. Find out about parallel motion and its usage on different situations. A fascinating book is included with 6 pages of innovative experiments, 20 pages of theory and amazing facts and 18 pages of step by step modelling instructions. A two page revision quiz is included so you can test your newly acquired knowledge
