Get the MECHANICS: Levers & Linkages set and learn how Levers can
be used for increasing an applied force or changing the direction of
motion. Find out how you can create models with complex motion by
connecting many levers together and learn how these Linkages can be
applied to various machines. Build 16 working models such as a seesaw, a
movable weight scale, a wheelbarrow, a parking gate, a toy with moving
figures, a pantograph and two types of linkages. You can find
easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in
the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the
different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative
experimental activities for hands-on learning. A Quiz section is also
available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! Conduct thorough
experiments and discover:
- the relation between fulcrum, effort and load;
- how the three classes of levers are formed;
- how to use linkages in order to create toys with moving figures;
- how to use a pantograph to scale up or down an image;
- how to create an exact straight line mechanically.
