This kit explores simple mechanisms and structures such as wheels and axles, hinges, cams and linkages. The Build It kit includes teacher and pupil photocopiable worksheets, components and enough TechCard material to construct twenty exciting models (two each of ten different designs) but can equally be used as a classroom resource pack for design and build projects.
This kit explores more sophistucated mechanisms, such as gears and pulleys and introduces power including electric motors and power from hydraulics and pneumatic systems. Ths kit also includes teacher and pupil photocopiable worksheets and components to build twenty stimulating models (two each of ten different designs).
A kit of 10 different powered TechCard models all featuring an element of control (electrical and pneumatic) in the form of simple switch mechanisms including switches operated by movement, pressure and magnetism. The kit includes all of the TechCard elements, building materials and electrical components as well as full step by step instructions.
Build a propeller car from pre-punched TechCard, add a personalised body shell, connect a battery and then see it go. An ideal basic introduction to card engineering with a model that will really excite young pupils.
Classic sports car design powered by a low voltage simple electric motor with additional power provided by integral reduction gears. The car is 'remote controlled' and can be made to go forwards, stop and reverse. A 'great fun' working model, with the potential to be dressed-up and personalised.
