Axles and Inclined Planes
Nothing could move easily until the Wheel was invented!
Wheel and axles are one of the Simple Machines used to reduce
friction and move objects. Both types of wheels and axles
are presented in this package. The ENGINO SYSTEM can be used to create either a wheel fixed
on a rotating axle or a wheel rotating freely in a fixed
axle, and is ideal for building effortlessly some very impressive
models. Learn how turning wheels can help move around corners,
how big wheels compare to small wheels, and how an Inclined
Plane can be used to lift heavy objects more easily. Even
the Wedge simple machine is introduced in this box! Models
such as a tractor, a motorcycle, a door, a splitting wedge,
a car with steering wheels, a car lift and much more may
be created. Detailed instructions for 13 models are included
in the tough carton package, specially designed for easier
storage and handling. The dimensions of the corrugated carton box are 32x22x7
cm. A comprehensive Educator's Guide with theoretical background
and a Pupil's Workbook with activities and experiments are
also available separately.
