  Machines & Mechanisms

The sets in this range help teachers to capitalize on youngsters’ natural curiosity and enthusiasm about the world around them. We provide the tools and design the tasks for exploration and experimentation, so that teachers can introduce the basics and let children try out their own ideas.

• Forces and motion
• Wheels and axles
• Gears
• Levers and pulleys
• Friction
• Gravity
• Speed
• Energy sources
• Stable structures
• Simple and complex machines
