General description

The seriesDISCOVERING STEM ™ has been developed by qualified teachers and academics, following the latest pedagogical trends to combine theory with practice. Trafficking in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in a fascinating and pleasant way.

With the seriesSTEM MECHANICSYou will discover how some pieces are crucial elements in many machines and how their use means saving time, money and effort today.

• How to get mechanical advantages with large wheels.
• How the wheel and axle mechanism works as a lever.
• The relationship between force and speed.
• The elements of a tilted plane and how these affect strength and distance.
• The forces applied in a wedge.

Understand the mechanics! Sticked wheels, axles and planes.

• Learn how wheels and axles use friction to move objects easily and how large tyres are compared to small tyres.
• Find out how a tilted plane can be used to lift heavy objects and how another tilted plane form, the wedge, is used in daily applications.
• Build 14 work modelslike a launch platform, a doorway with a knob, a well, an airport staircase, an experimental ramp and a separation wedge.
• It incorporates easy-to-follow construction instructions for all models, either online or in the brochure included.
• The brochure provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for practical learning.
