Wheels and Axles Construction Pack

Kit of wheels and dowels to investigate axles, demonstrating how they form a mechanism for movement.

Overview

  • Explore the effects of different size wheels in D&T and STEM activities. Includes dowels for practical application.

  • Introduce children to basic engineering and mechanical principles with wheels and axles. This pack helps explain simple mechanisms, different types of wheels and axles, and their presence in everyday objects.

  • The kit contains over 590 components, including wheels of various diameters made from turned wood and cardboard. All wheels have a 4mm diameter hole and come with 300mm lengths of dowel. Plastic tubing is also provided for use as end stops and spacers.

  • In Key Stage 1 Design & Technology lessons, children use mechanisms like levers, sliders, wheels, and axles in their projects, helping them understand movement. For Key Stage 2, the focus is on mechanical systems such as gears, pulleys, cams, levers, and linkages, and this pack supports these learning objectives with practical materials.

Supports the National Curriculum

Design & Technology, Key Stage 1, Technical Knowledge

Explore and use mechanisms (for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles) in their products.

Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge

Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).

Science, Year 5, Forces

Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
