STEM Mechanics - Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes

You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning.
 

S.T.E.M Mechanics – Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes: Wheels, Axles and Inclined Planes set and toys to learn how Wheels and Axles use friction to move objects easily and how big tyres compare to small tyres.

Find out how an Inclined Plane can be used for lifting heavy objects and how another form of the inclined plane, the wedge, is used in everyday applications.

Do STEM toys actually teach kids science and math?

• a launching platform

• a door with a knob

• a well

• an airport staircase

• an experimental ramp

• a splitting wedge
