| Hey there
Cars and computers easily top the list of most important engineering inventions in the past 150 years.
The invention of the automobile made it possible to travel the country in days instead of months. And our modern society wouldn’t exist without computers. It’s hard to think of a business, government agency, or household without one!
Understanding the basic engineering principles behind these crucial inventions inspires appreciation, curiosity, and awe.
That’s why we’re excited to announce two of our newest Science Unlocked kits that give your child hands-on experience with how things work:
From Here to There
With over 6 hours of learning, this hands-on kit allows your little engineer to learn how to design and build machines that move objects from one place to another.
They’ll learn the practical applications of machines and get hands-on experience building: Ramps Pulleys Ziplines Two types of claws Kids will sharpen their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they learn to craft a machine to accomplish a specific goal while working through these projects.
(From Here to There is a part of our Science Unlocked Wonder series and is recommended for grades K-2.)
Power of Magnets: Investigations Into Magnetic Fields and Forces.
Dive into the mysterious and fascinating realm of magnetism by exploring how magnetic fields impact the physical world.
Projects in this kit include: Testing the magnetism of a match before and after burning Using iron filings to visualize magnetic forces Crafting a pyramid-shaped device to explore how magnetic forces act on a central object Build an electromagnetic motor from scratch with a few basic materials (all included!) Each experiment challenges your student’s thinking as they discover: What makes objects magnetic How magnetism works at the subatomic level Basics of what magnetic fields look like How magnetism and electricity interact (Power of Magnets is part of our Science Unlocked Accelerate series and is recommended for grades 3-7.)
Both kits come with full-color Student Workbooks and Teacher Guides to provide a structured learning experience that gives your students a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles.
Ready to inspire your young inventor with real-world applications of physics and engineering? Dive into one of these and see where their curiosity takes them:
⇒ Explore machines and motion with From Here to There
⇒ Explore the wonders of magnetism with Power of Magnets
