With the KID K'NEX S.T.E.M. Explorations: Gears Building set, children aged 8 and up create three fully functioning gear models that are also used in everyday life, such as a fan, egg beater and a car window, with the 143 sturdy K'NEX parts. Children are introduced to concepts such as gear configurations, rotational speed, mechanical advantage and more!
By building replicas of real machines, children gain a concrete understanding of scientific principles about how these machines work. In addition, by building you stimulate fine motor skills, spatial insight and problem-solving skills. The KID K'NEX S.T.E.M. Explorations: Gears Building Set comes with a handy illustrated instruction manual to guide children through their building adventures.
