Explore the fun side of engineering! Kids can experience six simple machines, discover how they work, and study the invisible forces behind them.
Destroy a castle with a lever - but watch out for the dragon! Create music with an inclined plane at the pinball arcade. Send a satellite into orbit with a set of pulleys. Lift a wobbly fish tank with a screw. Travel through a magical world with a wheel and axle. Break an iceberg with a wedge.
Kids can modify and test each machine to learn about force and motion, action and reaction, input and output, conservation of energy, mechanical advantage, and trade-offs. There's also a companion guide, "The Wonder of Machines" manual, available for free download, which highlights activities for demonstrating, building, and discussing simple machines.
