Science Link Ages

Despite its apparent simplicity, the capabilities of lever mechanisms were not exploited until the 19th century! During the Industrial Revolution, mechanics received an unprecedented impetus for development, and lever mechanisms played a very important role in this. Their main tasks: to connect the same or different simple machines into complex ones that have the same properties, which even today change our way of life. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of lever mechanisms and explore the magic of the Science of Mechanics! Discover how many levers can be connected to create models with complex movements. Study how such connections can be used in various machines, and assemble several working models from the accompanying booklet describing the experiments and detailed explanations of the various technological principles. The parallel balance model will introduce you to the principles of linkage mechanisms and help you understand how they work. Learn all about parallel scales and how they work under different conditions. Build a model of a folding platform and understand how multiple levers can connect to form a mechanism that allows the platform to be raised to greater heights. In experiments, find the advantages that this fact can give us. For your folding staircase model, find the best place to place the lever mechanism to allow the staircase to open to its maximum length. Understand whether a real staircase can be improved in this way, and what lever mechanisms can do. Use the mechanical extending arm model to learn what proportional enlargement and proportional reduction are. Make an exact copy of the image in a larger or smaller size, exploring the characteristics of different types of lever connections. The kit includes a book describing the experiments and a detailed explanation of the various technological principles. This includes experiments, interesting facts about various subjects, as well as tasks. A booklet with instructions for assembling the models is included. The construction set is packaged in a convenient box, designed for ages from 6 to 14 years, and develops spatial thinking, perception, perseverance, imagination, and fine motor skills.
