Engino STEM Simple Machines

Description

Multiply or reduce force, increase or decrease speed and convert one type of motion to another! The Simple Machines set is a combination of the basic 5 sets of "Discovering STEM" series and covers all Simple Machines mechanisms. These mechanisms offer a mechanical advantage and are crucial elements of many machines and devices. They are designed to multiply or reduce force, increase or decrease speed and convert one type of motion to another. Build 60 working models that cover the subjects of levers, the wedge, the wheel and axle, the screw, the inclined plane, the pulley, as well as the more advanced gears and linkages!

The Engino Discovering STEM series introduces children into the world of STEM disciplines (Science – Technology – Engineering and Mathematics) through a completely new learning approach! Boys and girls can construct exciting models while learning scientific and technological subjects and doing experiments in each theme.

5 multi-page booklets with theory, experimental activities, quiz and building instructions! Full color images, drawings and interesting facts. Thought provoking building challenges and exercises. Provision to write, note results and draw conclusions. Various gears of high precision for changing speed! Various pulleys for changing force and direction! 60 working models to build! Conduct thorough experiments and discover: - the three classes of levers and the use of linkages; - how to gain mechanical advantage from wheel, axles and inclined planes mechanisms; - how to use pulleys to change force and direction of motion; - how to use cams and cranks to produce different types of motion; - how to calculate gear ratio and how worm drives work.

All models can be assembled by downloading the free internet instructions. All models are available as interactive 3D instructions viewed either from a PC or from smartphones and tablets through the ENGINO 3D Viewer app (kidCAD), downloadable for free in Android, Apple (iOs) and Windows mobile operating systems.
