Key stage 2
Machines & Mechanisms
Helping students deepen their understanding of how forces affect motion and explore concepts of energy. As they gain experience, students can build more complex machines & mechanisms and use them to make accurate observations, measurements and records; and even design their own solutions. These workshops are designed to teach a variety of STEM targets from simple to advanced levels throughout secondary school grades.
Key learning values:
Building and exploring real life machines and mechanisms
Investigating powered machines with motors
Using plastic sheets for calibration and capturing wind exploring gearing mechanisms with the assorted gear wheels
