K'NEX Education® Intro to Simple Machines: Wheels, Axles, & Inclined Planes Set

The K’NEX Education Intro to Simple Machines: Wheels, Axles, and Inclined Planes Set consists of 221 colorful parts and pieces made of durable plastic. These pieces can be combined to build 7 fully functioning replicas of real-world machines one at a time. Let your kids’ imaginations expand as they create their own inventions with this building set! K’NEX Education allows kids to enjoy hands-on learning. This set is designed to introduce students to scientific concepts as they create two types of simple machines: wheels and axles and inclined planes. With this fun and inquiry-based approach, students in grades 3 through 5 can build, investigate, and evaluate scientific principles in action. It’s the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every K’NEX building set. Building with K’NEX puts children on a path toward a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects.

Not only does K’NEX Education stimulate kids’ brains, it also promotes social skills through teamwork and collaboration. This set can be built by 2 to 3 students working as a team at once. Building instructions and a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide that is aligned to science, technology, engineering, and math standards are included. This building set comes with a handy, reusable bin for convenient transport and storage, so you can enjoy a quick and hassle-free clean up after playtime. This teaches builders to keep their playing areas tidy and organized. This set is recommended for students ages 8 and above.
