Kosmos Simple Machines

Pulleys, gears, and more make our everyday lives easier, but how do they work? Simply recreate them and test on a small scale how much force the mechanical models save! The 24 technology models are assembled from over 100 parts. The highlight: The spring scale precisely shows the effect of the constructions.

How does a lever work? What physical effect is present in a carousel? In addition to the fun of playing, there are many exciting discoveries related to the topic of mechanics. The illustrated step-by-step instructions provide plenty of background information that supports the intuitive physical understanding that children acquire while playing.

This KOSMOS experiment kit for children aged 8 to 12 is filled with tinkering fun and experiments using their own strength – physics you can touch! Mechanics make you strong! In 24 technology models, children aged 8 to 12 experience firsthand how to build clever force savers for heavy tasks using physical tricks: Everyone knows pulleys, cranes, and more from afar, but with this kit, they can be reconstructed on a small scale. The versatile models are created from over a hundred parts and are immediately put to the test. How do gears or levers work? What makes a carousel special? A brilliant extra: With the spring scale, children can instantly find out how much force they are saving with their mechanical models! This way, they gain intuitive physical understanding while playing, and the KOSMOS experiment kit also subtly trains fine motor skills. Construction with fun and an "aha" effect!.
