Young inventors put on their hard hats and take a deep dive into the world of mechanical engineering to figure out how simple objects like wheels, axles, inclined planes, and wedges can be used to lift very heavy things. Working by themselves or with a parent, young learners build their own wheeled machines to experiment with and put the new theories they learn along the way to the ultimate test!
- easy-to-follow instructions to create up to 6 models: a launching platform, a door and knob, a well, an airport staircase, an experimental ramp, and a splitting wedge
- detailed explanations of every scientific principle involved
