Actions & Reaction Lifting Systems Addon
-
Grades: 3–7
-
Number of Students: 1–3 students per kit; small groups can collaborate
-
Number of Lessons: 3–5 suggested activities
-
Hours of Content: Approximately 2–4 hours of active building and testing
Highlights:
The kit contains a special manual “lift” to move the balls up to a higher level. The leveler at the bottom of the system just needs to be pressed to send the ball upwards.
Key Features:
- Manual Lever Mechanism. Pressing the lever at the base of the tower mechanically lifts marbles from the bottom of the track back to the top.
- Universal Compatibility. The lift connects directly to the start and end points of all Clementoni Action & Reaction starter and expansion sets.
- STEM Learning Focus. The hands-on build teaches basic physics concepts including gravity, force, momentum, and how simple lever mechanisms trigger chain reactions.
- No Batteries Required. The elevator operates entirely through mechanical motion rather than electronics or motors.
Curriculum or Lesson Topics:
Learning objectives:
- Explore levers, force, gravity, and motion.
- Understand how mechanical systems transfer energy and change a ball's movement.
- Design, build, test, and improve marble-run circuits.
- Develop problem-solving, creative thinking, and engineering design skills.
