Capsela MX Racer Set #200 by Educational Insights

The Capsela motorized building system provides children with "hands on" experiences so that they can learn about energy and forces by actually handling batteries, creating motors, and seeing for themselves how energy changes with the help of visible gears and wheels. Smaller kits explore energy changes, electric circuits, motion energy, speed, and torque. Larger kits also provide introductory lessons on friction and traction, chain drive, inclined plane, crown gear, electrical switch box, buoyancy, electric circuitry, force, transformation of energy, vacuum, wheel-and-axle, friction, propellers, and Newton's 3rd law--"to every action, or force, there is equal and opposite force." The step-by-step full-color illustrated assembly instructions are easy to follow, and children quickly master valuable science principles while they create fascinating motorized projects. Children will have imaginative fun while learning about electric and mechanical energy. They can create a crazy car or a racing chariot in a matter of minutes, then take it apart and build an operating fan! Includes illustrated basic Science Booklet and Design Manual and 36 interlocking parts to build 7 motorized models. Motorized functions require one AA battery (not included).Age: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Adult Manufacturer: Educational Insights
