What happens when gears are connected? Do they rotate together, at the same speed, direction, or with similar force? Kids truly experience gears through this activity; growing their understanding through tinkering and experimentation as they complete optional labs and challenges. Labs cover fractions (Grades 3-4) and proportions (Grades 6-8), and challenges range from kinetic sculptures to making amusement park rides. After the bases and gears are assembled, they can be reused year after year.
Includes different documents for different ages. Some adult assistance is helpful for second grade and younger.
