Perfect for use in STEM and STEAM studies of:
• levers and simple machines
• design and technology units
• engineering and invention units
• fluid studies
• science fair activities
• Engineering Design Process units
This STEM kit comes with a teacher information booklet, great lesson plans, ideas, and a 15 page photocopiable student handbook with information about the history of hydraulics machines, and pages of tips and ideas about how to use the parts.
Teachers need only scissors, glue, and cardboard to get their class inventing, designing and building in a great, activity that will be the highlight of any science unit in the above mentioned areas. Built on the premise of a class of 30 students working in pairs (or any combination really), the class pack has enough materials to make at least 15 machines, with an average of 4 hydraulic pistons for each machine.
All pieces are pre-cut and pre-drilled for easy and very sturdy construction. Suitable for beginner model makers. Precisely cut and ready to assemble with timber slot construction. Has an excellent, easy to read and understand building manual with clear illustrations.
