Our kid-pleasing set challenges third- through fifth-grade students to build a variety of chain reaction courses--and comes complete with everything kids need to build from scratch, including switches, seesaws, hammers and more. Students simply grab a challenge card...design and build each of the pictured components with help from the “how-to”ť book...then set up their course. With a drop of the ball onto the tracks, kids will find out whether their course works--fine-tuning the distance and angle of the pieces until the ball reaches the goal box.
Perfect for building 21st-century skills like perseverance and STEM problem solving, our set even lets students create their very own chain reaction courses--for unlimited building possibilities! Set includes 59 tough plastic builders, 4 balls, 4 cords, 8 challenge cards, a “how-to”ť book and a guide. The largest piece measures 12" in length. Develops skills in understanding gravity, force, motion, momentum, speed, properties of materials, the design process and problem solving.
