This engaging hands-on tool introduces children to the basic principles behind gears, wheels, axels, levers and pulleys, while laying the groundwork for further learning about science and engineering.
The LEGO Simple Machines Set features 16 principle models, four main models and four problem-solving models that enable students to investigate and understand the operation of simple and compound machines found in everyday life.
