Wonder Gear | 11 to 17 years
Gear Blocks are more than just ordinary building blocks; they are a gateway to a world of exploration, creativity, and problem-solving. As students get into the world of Gear Blocks, they embark on a journey of discovery. They explore the intricacies of mechanical systems, witnessing firsthand how gears interlock, transfer motion, and create complex mechanisms. Through hands-on manipulation and experimentation, students gain a deep understanding of physics principles, engineering design, and the beauty of interconnected systems.
What's in the box?
- Ferris wheel
- A set of gears
- Rims (grooved wheels)
- Fan strips
- Connectors
- Beams
- Stickers sheets
- User Guides
- Storage box
Key Features
- Supporters: To give stable support to the construction done by kids.
- Driver Gears: Converting manual energy into motion.
- Driven Gears: Gear that transmits the motion.
- Connectors: By connecting connectors, kids learn how much gear they need to use to get the desired speed or motion of the ferris wheel.
- Handle: To initiate the movement in the driver gears.
- Concept of engineering: Kids will enter the world of exploring engineering concepts existing in our real lives as they rotate gears.
- Brain trainer: Visualizing the 3D demonstration of transmitting energy from one point to another.
- Safe and durable material: Made of non-toxic components and smooth edges.
Learning Outcomes
- Introduces Basic Engineering and Technology Concepts: Gear blocks can be used to teach basic engineering and technology concepts, such as how gears work and how to build simple machines.
- Develop Spatial Awareness and Problem-Solving Skills: Gear blocks require students to think spatially and solve problems by fitting different shapes and pieces together.
- Enhances Creativity and Imagination: The open-ended nature of gear blocks encourages students to use their imagination and creativity, fostering their ability to think outside the box.
- Builds Fine Motor Skills and Hand-Eye Coordination: The process of stacking and manipulating gear blocks helps improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
