Explore gearing functions with models like fans and discover their applications in everyday objects.

Accommodates collaborative learning for two to three children, ideal for Key Stage 2 educational environments.

Explore the intricacies of gear configurations through hands-on experimentation. This set encourages children to identify and test three different gear types, enhancing their understanding of mechanical principles.

The exploration continues as students delve into the concept of gear ratios, calculating the effectiveness and efficiency of different gear types. This hands-on approach solidifies their grasp of physics and engineering concepts.
The set is perfect for fostering a deep understanding of how everyday machines work, from bicycles to blenders, by enabling practical engagement with gears. It supports curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2, making it a valuable tool for classroom discussion on forces and mechanics.

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.
