STEM Explorations Levers and Pulleys

Explore the mechanics of levers and pulleys with this engaging STEM kit.

Overview

  • This kit dives deep into the exploration of scientific principles, with children building models that simulate real-world uses of simple machines such as balances and sailboats. Downloadable activities help in understanding lever classes, pulley systems, resistance, effort, and mechanical advantages, making the kit a comprehensive educational tool.

  • Suitable for a school setting, the kit directly supports elements of the Design and Technology curriculum in both Key Stage 1 and 2 by providing practical applications of the curriculum's focus on mechanisms.

  • Constructed for self-assembly, the kit encourages a practical engagement with STEM concepts. The experiment guide provides teachers with the tools necessary for educational support.

Supports the National Curriculum
