K'NEX Education® STEM Explorations: Swing Ride Building Set

Explore STEM concepts while building a motorized Swing Ride! Using the materials included in this set, middle school-aged children will be engaged and energized as they further their knowledge and understanding of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math concepts) associated with a real-life amusement park ride. The set includes over 470 parts plus a battery-powered motor for a single child or team of 2-3 children to build a working Swing Ride, plus 2 additional models: a Ferris Wheel and a Boom Ride (each model can be built one at a time).

Once built, a downloadable booklet guides students through 3 hands-on, inquiry-based experiments on each of the models. The Experiment Guide is aligned to national STEM standards and is appropriate for grade levels 5-9. K’NEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core. Requires 2 'AA' batteries, not included.
