Key Attributes

Practical Introduction to Mechanics

Master the Six Classical Simple Machines

This activity set brings the fundamentals of mechanical engineering to life. By experimenting with a lever, pulley, wedge, and the Archimedes screw, primary learners can see how simple machines make work easier. It provides a tactile way to explore force and motion, helping children understand the basic principles behind everyday tools.

Early Engineering and Real-World Logic

Design Solutions for Practical Problems

Encourage a scientific mindset through guided investigations. Students are challenged to use the included components to solve real-world problems presented on the activity cards. This "problem and solution" approach introduces early engineering principles and encourages children to find the most efficient way to lift, move, or split objects.

Data Recording and Scientific Inquiry

Analyse Results to Find the Optimum Solution

Science is about more than just play; it’s about observing and recording. This set includes 10 double-sided activity cards and reproducible materials that guide students to record their findings. By tracking their data, children learn how to evaluate different design solutions, a key requirement of the National Curriculum for Science and Technology.

Comprehensive STEM Investigation Kit

Everything Needed for Classroom Discovery

This feature-rich set is packed with scientific tools, including a cart with removable wheels, barrel weights, and a functional pulley with a rope and hook. Whether they are exploring the spiral of the Archimedes screw or the balance of a lever, this kit offers a complete, hands-on laboratory experience for budding engineers aged 5 and up.
