Use this sturdy Archimedes Screws to introduce cause and effect in a hands-on way!

Many teachers seek effective ways to demonstrate the principles of cause and effect learning. The Archimedes Screw meets this need by allowing children to observe how liquids and small solids defy gravity by moving upwards through the screw. This interactive science activity is ideally sized for children, making it easy for them to handle and explore different materials such as water, soil, and sand.

By engaging with the Archimedes Screw, children develop stronger observational skills. They learn to make predictions, observe outcomes, and understand the mechanism's principles. This hands-on learning resource enhances their understanding of scientific concepts and encourages critical thinking.
Each screw measures 28cm in length, providing ample space for observation and experimentation.
