Description

Make physics easy and exciting for your students with the K'NEX Education Roller Coaster Physics Set!With more than two thousand vibrant and durable parts, this set lets students build an array of models. The K'NEX Education Roller Coaster Physics Set includes 2,058 K'NEX rods and connectors for students to create with. These can be attached to one another in different ways to build a roller coaster ride.Build 11 roller coasters, inclined planes, and loop systems with this Roller Coaster Physics Set! Study and have fun in school at the same time.This engineering education toy includes step-by-step building instructions to help both teachers and students operate it. A team of six to eight members can work together to build these amazing structures. This makes a great learning tool for students, not only in stimulating their minds, but in promoting social development as well. A Comprehensive Teacher's Guide is also included to provide the information and resources students need to understand the scientific concepts. It also helps channel their inquiries into active and meaningful learning experiences. The guide includes nine lab exercises that outline the ways students can use the set to study physics, and mechanics in particular. Encourage students to develop each lab investigation using the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate) as they build and experiment with the K'NEX Education Roller Coaster Physics Set. Stimulate the development of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) concepts by igniting students' natural curiosity and creativity. Building with K'NEX puts students on the path to a fundamental understanding of these subjects. Let them design, construct, customize, and discover the world of science with the K'NEX Education Roller Coaster Physics Set! Features: 2,058 parts, enough to create 11 models including roller coasters, inclined planes, and loop systems Accommodates 6-8 students working in teams and appropriate for high school classrooms in grades 11 & 12 STEM Concepts: trigonometry, uniform acceleration, elastic collisions, projectile motion, centripetal force, and more Packaged in 2 reusable plastic bins with snap-on lids for quick clean-up and easy storage Building with K'NEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects. K'NEX Education sets come with lesson plans and experiment guides written by educators that feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects. All teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core. K'NEX Education sets let students build replicas of real-world machines to gain an understanding of the principles that make them work.
