Simple Machines
Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics with Thames & Kosmos' Simple Machines kit. Investigate all six classic simple machines, plus gears, through 26 model-building exercises. The included spring scale allows you to measure how the machines change the direction and magnitude of forces, making work easier to do. The 32-page full-color manual provides real-life examples of simple machines, from seesaws to flagpoles. Recommended for ages 8+. Assemble and disassemble models to create your own configurations!

Learn about mechanical physics with the Thames & Kosmos Simple Machines kit designed to help you understand and build twenty-six models of the six classic simple machines - inclined planes, pulleys, wedges, screws, levers, and wheels and axles - as well as gears. The models start simple and build in complexity as you learn how the machines work together and make tasks easier. The kit includes a spring scale so you can measure the direction and magnitude of forces on the machines, and modular pieces that can be assembled and disassembled in various configurations. This hands-on experience is complemented by a 32-page full-color manual that provides real-world examples of simple machines in action such as seesaws, wheelbarrows, and flagpoles. Suitable for ages 8 and older.
