Create a hands-on learning resource centre in your home school!

WOW! What an amazing K'Nex set!
K'Nex Simple Machines set is truly an extravaganza including 3447 pieces, and a 12 volt motor. This deluxe set builds 60 fully-functioning K'Nex Education models from the 5 simple machine concepts: levers, pulleys, gears, wheels & axles and inclined planes. Builds multiple models simultaneously. Included with the set are 60 building/activity cards which include both the building instructions for the models but also have activities for your students to complete allowing them to investigate the concepts independently....
In addition, there are 5 KNEX Educator's Guides, one for each of the simple machines concepts, which allow you, working with your students, to investigate and master lever classes, gear types, gear ratio, friction,
mechanical advantage, pulleys, force, and much more.

And that's not all - the culminating activity in this set is the Big Ball Factory. K'NEX Education has included the building instructions in this set to build this 5' tall complex machine model which incorporates all the simple machine concepts into one model. Motorize the Big Ball Factory and watch the balls take one of four different routes, including a tunnel, a loop, a spiral, and a chute.
