The TechCard series of class room oriented activity packs encourage students to explore mechanical and design concepts. Here is where Science and Art combine in an interesting and absorbing way in providing beses for students to add their own creative touches. The packs contain sufficient materials for between 10 and 30 students. All electrical wiring is through safe, solderless construction.
15526 TechCard Build It Kit explores simple structures and mechanisms such as wheels axles, hinges, cranks, cams and linkages.Includes photocopiable worksheets, teacher's notes and enough TechCard and mechanical components to construct 20 models—two each of ten different designs.
Models include a balloon or sail powered vehicle, plus three different pull-cord powered fairground rides, working windmill, drawbridge, scales and crane plus a flying bumble bee and a very hungry frog!
15528 TechCard Power It Kit introduces more sophisticated mechanisms such as gears and pulleys and introduces power from electric motors and pneumatics. Includes photocopiable work sheets, teachers notes and enough TechCard and mechanical components to construct twenty models—two each of ten different designs.
