Grades 1+.
With this kit, students will learn about the conversion, storage, and transfer of energy by building a motorized robot, race car, and countdown timer — powered without any batteries or electrical power!
The secret behind these fascinating machines is a power source called a mainspring — a spiral-shaped spring that stores up energy when wound by hand and then converts that stored energy back into motion when it discharges.
The 64-page manual with step-by-step instructions paired with snap-together assembly make it easy for students to learn about the inner workings of spring-powered devices and discover the physics concepts of potential and kinetic energy.
