Simple Machines

Mechanics makes you strong! In 24 technical models, children aged 8 to 12 experience firsthand how to build clever power-saving devices for heavy work using physical tricks: Pulleys, cranes, and similar devices are familiar to everyone from a distance, but with this construction kit, they can be replicated on a small scale. Over a hundred parts are used to create the versatile models, which are then put directly to the test. How do gears or levers work? What makes a carousel? Ingenious extra: With the spring scale, children can immediately find out how much force they are saving through their mechanical models! This gives them an intuitive understanding of physics while playing, and the KOSMOS experiment kit also trains fine motor skills. Construction with fun and an "aha!" effect!
