Highlights:
With the Science Lab Kit 1, young learners get their hands directly on the physics of everyday machines — building levers, pulleys, gears, and inclined planes to see how force and motion actually work, rather than reading about them. The kit runs entirely without screens or setup overhead, drops into a single session, and holds up for repeated use across terms
Curriculum or Lesson Topics:
-
Simple Machines: Identifying and using levers, wedges, inclined planes, wheels & axles, and pulleys in everyday tools (hammer, axe, see-saw, slide, wheelbarrow)
-
Force & Motion (Push/Pull): Understanding how pushing, pulling, and rolling make things move (dragster, spinner, swing, merry-go-round)
-
Everyday Tools & Their Uses: Connecting classroom builds to real-world objects kids already know (scissors, pizza cutter, tongs)
-
Observation & Comparison: Noticing differences in how objects move, spin, or lift
-
Engineering Design (Build & Test): Following simple instructions to construct a model and test that it works as intended
What’s Included:
- 110 bricks and parts
