Construct 12 models and conduct experiments with them to learn about forces and simple machines. Each model demonstrates a fundamental idea in mechanical physics.

 

For example, you can build a balance scale to learn about lever arms, a freight elevator to learn about pulleys, and a bicycle to learn about wheels.

 

Construct a spinning motion picture machine to learn about centripetal and centrifugal forces, and a geared transmission to learn about gears.

 

Build a simple spring scale to measure the forces acting on your models and an inclined plane to learn about normal force and gravitational force.

 

Make a water wheel powered crane and a catapult to learn about the transfer of energy.

 

Finally, put your physics knowledge to the test by building a sailing land yacht and a rubber band powered dragster.

 

The 48-page book offers illustrated instructions for the building projects and experiments.
