K'NEX Education Intro To Simple Machines Gears

Ideal for teaching the principles of gears and simple machines, this K'NEX Education set supports hands-on learning in primary classrooms. Learners can explore mechanical concepts through practical construction activities, making it suitable for Design & Technology and STEM lessons for Years 3 to 5.

K'NEX® Education Gears set is designed to introduce students to the scientific concepts associated with gears. Students are provided with the opportunity to acquire skills using a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to information and concepts as they build, investigate, discuss, and evaluate scientific principles in action. The Teacher's Guide provides the information and resources needed to build students' understanding of scientific concepts and channel their inquiries into active and meaningful learning experiences. Extension activities to explore the concepts more deeply are also included.

• Includes 198 K'NEX pieces to build 7 different gear-based models (one at a time)

• Designed for 2–3 students to work collaboratively

• Comes with building instructions and a comprehensive teacher's guide aligned to curriculum standards

• Supplied in a sturdy storage tray with a snap-on lid for easy organisation

• Recommended for primary school use, especially Key Stage 2

STEM Education focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts taught through problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning and critical thinking. STEM Education requires students to be active participants in the learning. K'NEX® models offer hands-on learning opportunities that encourage scientific inquiry, investigation and experimentation. Our inquiry-based lessons challenge students as they build, investigate, problem solve, discuss, and evaluate scientific and design principles in action. Aligned to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math standards.
