| "LEVERS" Hands-On Physics Kit by Engino:
Combine building projects with science with LEVERS!
Archimedes once said: "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth", explaining in this special way the principle of levers. How true is his saying? Levers are possibly the first tools used by man for moving large objects and have been used ever since in a variety of modern applications.
Almost every simple or complex machine contains at least one lever! Here are a few projects included in this kit:
Make a great model of a lever crand and learn how it is used for lifting heavy objects, without falling over to the other side. Compare your model with a real one and learn about first-class levers.
Construct a unique model of a letter scale and learn how light objects like envelopes and paper are weighed. Experiment and discover on your own the reasons why a scale might sometimes produce wrong indications.
Build a fascinating model of a see-saw to find out how levers actually work. Learn about the principle of torque equilibrium and how it is used for gaining mechanical advantage. Is it possible for a little kid to lift a much heavier adult?
Build and play with a wonderful model of a wheelbarrow and learn how it is used for carrying heavy loads using the elements of levers: fulcrum, effort, and load, discovering the properties of second-class levers.
A 36-page activity book is included with innovative experiments and detailed explanations of the different technological principles applied. Kids will learn all about mechanics as the booklet contains hands-on activities, creative building challenges and interesting facts about a variety of subjects. It also includes exercises and quizzes, together with their solutions. A booklet with detailed building instructions is also included.
