With Physics Discovery, you can build 12 models and then
conduct experiments with the models 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, a bicycle to learn
about wheels, a motion picture machine to learn about centripetal and
centrifugal forces, and a transmission to learn about gears. Physics
Discovery is a smaller, introductory companion to our best-selling
Physics Workshop kit. It has different building projects and
experiments, but parts that are compatible with those in Physics
Workshop and Physics Solar Workshop. This kit includes more than 100
building pieces. The 32-page book offers illustrated instructions for
building projects and experiments. Ages 8 and up.
