PHYSICS - GEARS, PULLEYS AND SIMPLE MACHINES

SCIENCE AND DISCOVERY

Learn about force and motion with these durable, handcrafted hardwood models. Simple push, pull and rotating wooden toys are ideal to support children to understand the principles of movement. Through play with these wooden resources, children learn that force can be thought of as ‘push’ and ‘pull’. Force can make objects move, stop, hold things up or squash them together. Friction stops objects moving or slows them down and gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other or causes objects to fall. Each of these engaging wooden models demonstrates the concept behind the operation of many different simple machines and more complex mechanical devices. Children love to turn the gears and see what happens, change angles and mass… Before they know it, they are doing some real experiments and learning some basic physics principles through hands-on, active learning. A suggested activity guide is included with each model.

This wooden device illustrates the workings of a system of gears. When you turn one gear, the meshed teeth cause the other gears to rotate as well. The second gear turns in the opposite direction as the first, while the third gear turns in the same direction.
