Thames & Kosmos Simple Machines

Science Experiment & Model Building
Kit, Introduction to Mechanical Physics
Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics by
learning all about simple machines and how they’re
used to make complex tasks easier to do. Through 26
model-building exercises, you’ll investigate all six
classic simple machines - wheels and axles, levers,
pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges - as well
as gears. Start off with simple models to a firm
understanding of the basic principles at play, and then
move onto larger, more complex models to push the
machines harder and see how they can work
together. Also included is a specially designed spring
scale so that you can measure how the machines
change the direction and magnitude of forces, making
work easier to do. With this durable, modular
construction system, you can see how the same basic
elements combine in different ways to form each
machine. The models can be assembled and
disassembled again and again; combine the pieces to
create your own configurations, limited only by your
imagination! In addition to the invaluable hands-on
experience you’ll get from model building, the 32-
page, full-color manual also dives into examples of
simple machines in action in everyday life. The
seesaw at the playground, the wheelbarrow in your
backyard, the flagpole in front of your school - all of
these are examples of simple machines in the real
world! So start building, investigating, and
experimenting to discover how physics is all around
us!

Too difficult to assemble

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019
Style: Kit
This is definitely not a LEGO quality product. The
pieces are not accurate so one need to put some
pressure on them to assemble the models, and then
a lot of power is needed to take the pieces apart and
move to the next experiment. Booklet is hardly
readable - simply too... See more

My granddaughters were very excited about this kit.
The oldest (age 9) was able to put it together for the

The seller just taped up the factory box and stuck
shipping label on the package. Could not even put it
in a mailing pouch. Thanks a lot! Some of us like to
keep the pieces in there original box. The Simple

pieces together is even more difficult. My son who
loves electrical, scientific and physics kits was bored
after 30 minutes. I put it on the shelf and brought it
