## Description

Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics by learning all about simple machines and how they're used to make complex tasks easier to do. Through 26 model-building exercises, you'll investigate all six classic simple machines — wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges — as well as gears. and then move onto larger, more complex models to push the machines harder and see how they can work together. Also included is a specially designed spring scale so that you can measure how the machines change the direction and magnitude of forces, making work easier to do. With this durable, modular construction system, You can see how the same basic elements combine in different ways to form each machine. The models can be assembled and disassembled again and again; combine the pieces to create your own configurations, limited only by your imagination! In addition to the invaluable hands-on experience you'll get from model building, the 32-page, full-color manual also dives into examples of simple machines in action in everyday life. The seesaw at the playground, the wheelbarrow in your backyard, The flagpole in front of your school — all of these are examples of simple machines in the real world! So start building, investigating, and experimenting to discover how physics is all around us!

Review: Great gift - Got this as a gift for my nephew and he absolutely loved it. For the price, it kept him busy for hours. Its nicely made and for a kid who loves taking things apart and putting things together, this hit the bullseye. Would buy this company’s products again.
Review: Very useful and fun - Pros: 1. The instructions are easy to read and understand. 2. The plastic pieces are very durable. 3. Each "simple machine" diagram explains the use and function of the machine. 4. Very educational and useful in a homeschool setting when studying Simple Machines, one at a time. Cons: 1. The pieces sort of "lock" together making disassembly a bit difficult, especially if you put the wrong pieces together. 2. You can only make one "machine" at a time. So, you need multiple sets if you want to have multiple machines constructed at the same time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: real users: what age has enjoyed using this independently?**
A: I have used it with 7 and 8 year old children and they are able to use it independently.

**Q: How long would you say it takes to follow the instructions and assemble one of the machines? Our science classes are 30 min long. Thanks.**
A: Because different people complete things at different speeds, there isn't one definitive answer. But, depending on the difficulty level of the model (they get more challenging as you progress through the manual), they can take anywhere from 15 minutes about 30 minutes, on average.

**Q: best price old ?**
A: Good Morning!!
Thank you for asking about the price of this item.  Currently all the items we have listed on Amazon are at the absolute lowest price we can offer.
Thank you and have a great Monday!
