Simple Machines Block & Tackle
Learning Advantage®
$24.99One pulley can be used to change the direction of the force applied by a cord several pulleys can be used to make this simple machine. A small force on the cord can be used to lift a large weight. Experimenting with the device shows why: lifting the...$24.99 -
Simple Machines Pendulum
Learning Advantage®
$24.99As the pendulum swings back and forth, its energy changes from potential energy (the energy it has at the top of its swing, when it is raised up) into kinetic energy (the energy of motion). But the pendulum can be used as a device to explore other...$24.99 -
Simple Machines Pulley
Learning Advantage®
$24.99When a cord is run over a pulley, the direction of the applied force is changed. This is a very useful principle in many different machines, and a basic principle that shows up again and again in physics classes. This device lets students explore and...$24.99 -
Simple Machines Screw
Learning Advantage®
$19.99The screw, another of the simple machines, converts a circular motion (the turning of the screw) into a linear motion. It also lets you amplify the force a great deal, since turning the screw only moves the end of the screw a small amount. This classic...$19.99 -
Simple Machines Inclined Plane
Learning Advantage®
$24.99The great blocks of stone that made the pyramids weren't lifted into place they were rolled up ramps, or what we now call inclined planes. The inclined plane, one of the simple machines, allows you to raise great weights with small forces. This model...$24.99
